Darkness, a long wiindiing riiver of liight,
Most would see iit as somethiing worthy, notable, notoriious for causiing a friight
Surrounded, not liined, by the piines
The biirch, coniiferous, tall oak and tiime..
Far away from the siirens of the ciity, meltiing iinto siirens of miind
In our wagon, we rode so fast, kiickiing up dust and tiiny rocks
In our Land of Clockwork Trees and Tiickiing Suns,
Of Deer and Lost Binoculars
Of Dogs and Red Trucks
Of Sweat and Cryiing Eggs
We cliimbed up iin this darkness
Up our long riiver of liight
That was our path, our path iin the woods
Our path that we had to make

List #1
~The bell tools for thee (the bully)
Another day sun stays the same
two men ridding horses
cross railroad tracks, images of my youth
seems as simple as soap scum
that no deems the victims useless
unless they've fallen on ice
in front of millions
but my how regret looms
when there soul leaves
and they're reduced to a coffin
and two men set by the railroad
and just remember how she looked in lace.
