Traveler’s Tale 13 (Traveler’s Rest) Methinks the night is soon to fall- It’s time to make me bed. A bare blade by meet outstretched hand, A pistol ‘neath me head. And brambles strewn around me camp- To warn of passersby… You meddle wit’ the Traveler, lad- And likely you will die. Me name? Ah, lad, an’ I forget- I had one that’s fer sure- But that was quite some time ago- When still me heart was pure. Buchanan is the clan I claim- But I am long from home… I’m not the first bold Scottish lad To pack his grip and roam. I’ve crossed the sea a score o’ times And seen some bloody fights… I fear my past does haunt me now… On lonely moonless nights. Guilty? Aye, I guess I’m that… I’ve slain my fellow man… Not as a craven slew I them- Their blades were in their hands. The hour is late, a toddy, then- I’ll rest in this dark vale- Tomorrow writes another page- Within the Traveler’s Tale. Visit My Home Page http://www.geocities.com/montcogunslinger/HomePage.html |

Tale 13??? You mean I've missed others? This is great! Felt like I was hearing the words from someone sitting beside me! |

I surely do hope this "Traveler" keeps a journal close by at all times... I'd be pretty unhappy if we missed even one small morsel of your work.. |
