Just sitting in the upstairs hall, with nothing to do at all, rocking chair and a guitar, window and walls are up there. Now the dogs at the top of the stairs and I'm sitting in a rocking chair. Looking over the window sill, out through the trees and over the hill, to the beach down by the shore, where all the seagulls soar. Just took a trip from the top of the stairs sitting in a rocking chair. There was a boy who lost his kite ran through a field with all of his might the kite floated up through the clouds it made the boy cry out loud. I have no worries although I care sitting in a rocking chair. A plane goes flying by over the house up in the sky I wonder where that plane is gonna go, it's headed West maybe Idaho, just something I wouldn't know swaying too and fro. Without that knowledge I won't despair sitting in a rocking chair. When you've found your place in this world, your life has some how furled, for me I'm a clever make shift man doing the best I can, if I can make the dog heel and see the boats keel, I must be doing something right cause somethings going right, life can seem pretty fair. So keep on climbing up those stairs until you find your rocking chair. EARTHMAN [This message has been edited by Paul Hoekman (edited 01-09-2000).] |

Now I want a rocking chair. Very nice, very lovely. ~Astraea "Sometimes stars can only be seen in darkness." "Sorrow's crown of sorrow is remembering happier things." |

When I find my rocking chair... I'll be waiting until I can finaly rock in peace at the top of the stair. I'm glad to see you are already there Paul. JOY |

Mind lending out that rockin chair of yours for a while? Climbing up all these stairs looking for mine has made me a bit tired, I could use a few minutes of rest! =o) Great poem! ~*~ Hell is not a place of fire and a devil with a tail and horns. But a place of torment because the light of God is gone. To escape this, accept the blood of Jesus Christ! ~*~ |

Just beautiful. Simple, rhythmic, lyrical. I can hear that airplane in the distance up above the strum of a simple acoustic melody. Brings peaceful, poetic breezes to my lingering upstairs heart. |
