Ghost Train RadioDream Wood
Posted on November 30, 2021
I came upon a dream wood
A forest much aglow
I knew not where it led
I entered very slow
It wasn't on fire
At least it wasn't burning
The positive light made me warm
It quenched my inner yearning
It made me calm
And soothed my soul
The vibrant light caressed me
I never wanted to go
I woke up then
With mornings rays
The vibrant sun peeked in
I gave my thanks for another day
New Day Sun
Posted on November 28, 2021
I’ve been playing Cello for 1 1/2 weeks so far. I have my first lesson via Zoom on Monday, and my Niece is my teacher. Pardon the songs lately because I’m a rank beginner, but trying to write songs for Cello is a fabulous exercise. Even though I’m getting older, it’s like the new light of a new day – learning something new makes me feel much younger.
No matter how young or old
You can do whatever you want
If it comes from your soul
If it's from the heart
You will succeed
Jump right in and start
With a song on your lips
And a whistle in the wind
No one can sink your ship
Love For The Fretless
Posted on November 26, 2021
Love for the fretless
Is neither bad nor reckless
If it moves your spirit
When you play you'll hear it
As you gently bow
You will surely know
If it moves your spirit
When you play you'll hear it
You might fiddle around
Then one day go to town
If it moves your spirit
When you play you'll hear it
Autumn Steps
Posted on November 21, 2021
Small garden steps
Strong and steep
Made of brick
Three foot deep
Always warm
And inviting
Garden path
Quite exciting
When the rain
Comes down
Golden leaves fall
Onto the ground
Colorfall
Posted on November 21, 2021
Thankfully
I was proven wrong
Still hanging in there
Colors prolonged
The colors fall
Like water over a cliff
In time for Thanksgiving
What a gift
I'm on the prowl
Eyes open wide
For scenes to capture
On my bike ride
New Testament
Posted on November 21, 2021
My fifth song with Cello. Its a challenge, but the more I play Cello, the more I love it.
This a New Testament
Religious, in a pagan way
Worshipping Nature
What God hath made
No need for text
Prose or sermons
Just open your eyes
Your soul is yearning
Gentle thoughts
Relaxing and kind
Opens your soul
Opens your mind
Thankful Moon
Posted on November 20, 2021
This November
Subtle beauty
Arrived so soon
With Beaver Moon
On the heels
Of Great October
Trees fading glory
Unfolding story
On to December
With chilled night air
Not so fast!
We have to give thanks
The Beaver Moon
The Thankful Moon
Thankful for
What we adore
What we adore
And give our thanks
Our quiet thoughts
That can't be bought
On My Way Home
Posted on November 20, 2021
On my way home
Off went the call
Five alarm beauty
Fire color wall
These vibrant colors
More sparse and bare
Look at these hold outs
Pockets still there
It's as if
Something doth say
Keep taking pictures
Don't put your camera away!
Thanksgiving Eyes
Posted on November 20, 2021
Late Fall colors Beckon
Just when I gave up
They call me back
I reckon
This tree
Just down the street
On my way to town
I had to stop and greet
On the way home
Trees of many colors
Caught me by surprise
A feast for Thanksgiving Eyes
The Minds Eye
Posted on November 19, 2021
It's fantastic
What we humans see
When our eyes are open
Internally
The Internal
Affects the External
When our eyes are open
Autumnal or Vernal
The External
Influences our brain
Bringing pleasure
Or pain
Autumn's paradox
Such color in death
Vernal is green
A baby's first breath
Images beget moods
Color the minds eye
Accentuate the positive
Or scare us deep inside
Take the moon
You'll either sing
Clair de Lune
Or songs filled with doom
You get to choose
Decide what you see
Darkness and sadness or
Light and Beauty
