A cold, damp, darkness laced with fog surrounds the pier The waning moon twists the fog into ghostly tendrils, soggy and wintry, enveloping a solitary form Loneliness, an old companion, will visit the old man again Slowly rowing upon forgotten waters, making his way toward the pier Frigid and dank, the slow tide evokes no contentment, only a forlorn resentment The pier will be no place of refuge this evening The distant shores of fulfillment are again beyond reach Sighing, he makes room upon his bench for a familiar apparition ...just bein' Bluesy |

I was touched by this, Bluesy, probably because I felt very familiar with the words, thinking it was written for someone like me. Nice work. ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |

Thanks, Miss Lori. I think Jerry would be complemented by your comment. I know I am. It's based in part, on a dream I had. I keep a pen & pad near me at all times. Linny will just have to make room for it!  ...just bein' Bluesy |

Just so long as she doesn't mistake your pen for a good time, you'll be alright. ~L |
