WORDLESS

WORDLESS

Words are but fluid melodies
that vanish with time
no flesh to hold, no heart that comforts
and no soul to wrap around,
shadows that vanish as they are spoken
to leave the mind to remember,
and die in the remembering
don’t let my hand slip away
from yours.
I want to feel your words until
I can feel no longer.

drove truck for years...retired but a year
but his lungs were shot..
leaned on me during a gathering
The fear was on him bad
looked like the wolves were closing
in on him....
He might have passed
havent seen him in ages..
so it goes...
If people are decent U stay
with em at the end
If they were shits to you
I dont stick about
I remember chumming
with a great native leader
He shook our hands
Been nice to know yah!
and died soon afterwards
He was ready to go!

todays world is all about
Self...Selfies...gimme gimme's
I hear U brother..
we gave....
The IOU's of happiness
are meaningless...
all the cursers and negative
booby brains leave when
U hand em a broom and
ask to clean up..
Oh gotta go!
yah ....Fuck off....
then we can talk business!
say our proper goodbyes...
only the hardy stand by..
Keep feeling
I Keep listening
Joe!

thank U for posting
into the greater journey
Brother!

Luv yah!
Mr Wolf!

with Bunni again
holding her hand

few I want too....
so independent
are most..
Like me
so negative...
but somewhere
sometime
I know maybe
someone
would hold my hand
or I like to think it this
way when its my time
to go....

or maybe its just a
fairy tale I like to
believe in...

Excellent Rewrite
Geremia!!

thank You!
