                   Safe Haven

To the Oasis and Jack Daniel,the last dead soldier

Where be this place called Safe Haven;
is it an Oasis somewhere beyond Wild Nature's beauty?
Can it be found in a world of brick and mortar,
an artificial refuge of manmade stone?
Me thinks not, tho, I tarry there
at least for awhile,
dreaming dreams no other mortal
would dare to dream,
as I free the sprit from the glass.
Oh, how I love to partake with thee
this simple kindness
and lay upon the earth
the silica shell
of an old departed friend.
Farewell, Jack, 'til the 'morrow!
when I return
to free the sprit
entrapped within the bottle.

r v,
Again, Welcome to PiPs. I'm not a drinker but believe I got the point of the spirits.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane,
I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

Since I have never partaken, this was a little tough for me to fathom.  But I still know good writing when i see it.  Joyce

r v,
Good for you on all fronts. I have found that since I have found writing as a means of expression that there is much I have come to terms with and can manage. Congratulations too. And thanks for sharing.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane,
I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

bel1e, black jack had always been my poison of preference. it was like an ice cube on my brain...bringing a cooling click to the inside my head. it was, at times, the only way to find sleep.
