A Fisherman

CATEGORY

life

I met a fisherman just the other day who cast his line my way

What manner of man is this I did insist

He delved deep into the ocean of my soul reeling in memories I had

wanted to fade but to him they must be told

That net which he pulled me in made me face the reality that I had hoped come to an end

I was a war vet who thought his 30 year journey of nightmares

sleepless nights anxiety was his and his alone

But

this fisherman hashed all those memories of war from my mind

and convinced me mine was shared by thousands of the same kind

If not for this fisherman who reeled me in on his deft fishing line

I probably would be still hid in the deep dark murky waters

until the end

of my mortal time

So I salute this fisherman of men whose name is Neon Leon

the man that bought me to the light

Sadly one of my best friends past 2 years ago he is one of three difference makers in my life

Leon was a social worker who helped me get my claim for PTSD through learned so much from though only knew for five years he worked for the Vet Center In Hartford Conn

Lookin Really Pretty Out Here

Lookin really pretty

In the midst of a

changin season

the landscape everywhere you

look you cant escape it

the Fall atmosphere got it

lookin like tall beautiful flowers

but of course its those changin

color of leaves vivid colors

from those enormous trees

then there are the shorter ones

to blend in like the rainbow

in the sky

Lookin real Pretty ou here

When I see the beauty of nature at work

this is one of my Fall Winter tunes its by The Rascals

called Little Dove You tube got it

Song by Earth Wind and Fire From their first album

Heater Jumpin

That atmospheric time

fireplace sets it off

cause the Hawk has come

to nest and rest

Heater jumpin on and off

all night

temp dipped to 37

But

its somethin bout this

time of year house is warm

cold outside gettin darker

earlier and earlier every day

feelin that brisk Fall wind

watchin leaves really leavin

the trees

Love the sound inside the house

heater jumpin on and off

make me grab a pen throw

a lil art together my Muse

kind of weather

This song is a favorite combative summer song by my favorite

R and B Funk group Isley Brothers been dealin with them since

the 60s got a lot of their music The Heat is On youtube gots it

Straight From The Hip Baffler

Not one who craves attention

one that loves danger and adventure

Got this best friend named shadow

with me he always follow

he is everywhere I go

like me love to travel incognito

Never out to impress just b me

a mystifier a baffler beyond

the realm of reality

This one staight from the mind

not written down on paper

doing it real real straight off the computer

keyboard

At times do things like this

so easily bored

spur of the moment as I baffle

Feelin Blue Earth Wind N Fire Youtube

Early Mornin Write

3 or so in the mornin

like every night

for years now dealin

with this PTSD

eyes never shut tight

Not much for watchin TV

so I kinda just lay here hoping

to catch a few winks before

the night is over

A restless Soul fighting to

get a lil sleep

if I get any its always light

never deep

Well this morning here

maybe I will begin this

trend of a early morning

write

Music junkie since small child At the age

of 12 I remember this song love the part about the milkman

they really did used to deliver milk in the bottle with that fresh

cream on top early in the morning The song was tossin and turnin Bobby Lewis youtube it

Writing Groove

Aint got into that comfortable

Fall Winter mood to get into

that easy going smooth

rhythmic flow Its just the

atmosphere aint quite

right yet still kinda warm

heater aint jumpin on and off

leaves aint turned brown hitting

the ground aint dark at 5 yet

but Muse makes me sit down

pick up that pen get it movin

get on down with that writing

groove

My favorite Rock group is the Rolling Stones

I have two forty fives I bought in high school

still have them one 45 was get off my clou the

other no satisfaction by the Stones I sometimes

have to tell Muse I Cant Get No Satisfaction Rolling Stones

youtube got it
