<div style="text-align: center;">
Behind me</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can only see it</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the mirrors</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Of my mind</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And muse about</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The paths I never took</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The loves I never met</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On a journey of no return</div>

How many suns</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will see</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
December approaches</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Like a runaway train</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But then I wonder</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How many suns</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Do I actually need to see</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I only truly loved once</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But she wasn't mine</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To love</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Never found another</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That was quite the same</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At all</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So it was down the road</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once again</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Till the next stop</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In some old town</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Looking for</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A Honky Tonk Butterfly</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To pretend to love</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And fill the empty night</div>

Born in the time of dirt roads</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And radio news</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Grew up with drive in theaters</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the back seat with Suzie Q</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Returned from foreign shores</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With PTSD before</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
PTSD was invented</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hiding from the demons</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Behind booze and magic weed</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lost in love</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She was wed to past mistakes</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I now sit lost</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In an era well past mine</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not knowing what tomorrow brings</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Or understanding today </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The clatter of crockery</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Heady aromas </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Of greasy food and smoke</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The hum of conversation</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mixed with Hank Williams</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
From the battered jukebox</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the corner</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The portly cook</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dirty apron</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cigar stub dangling ash</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Scooping hash and eggs</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On to chipped cracked plates</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Served by a tired waitress</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With a look of life</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Upon her face</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been here a thousand times</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In a thousand different places</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And when I am gone</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This scene will die</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Buried by sand and time<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Last post till September Heading To the Cabin <br />
Hope everyone has a great and safe summer </div>

Sketches of your inner turmoil</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Are drawn on the oceans</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With invisible ink</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My sight blinded</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I do not sail </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A ship from your past</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My vessel my own</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You have never stood</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Upon its deck</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Felt the wind</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On your skin<br />
Letting its rhythm <br />
Embrace the soul<br />
My navigation charts<br />
Show no route<br />
To sail</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
At night</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Deep in thought</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I feel</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Your gentle touch</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A subtle reminder</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
More time has passed</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Than lays before me</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cherish those little moments</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A little deeper</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The rush to reach </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Soul soothing goals</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Be tempered</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fully enjoy</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Each that come to pass</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Create full memories</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To hold</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As the clock ticks</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Life giving substance</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wrapped in plastic</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Discarded with out thought</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In rivers and streams<br />
Lakes,Oceans</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Forests and ditches</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Along sidewalks</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hills,valleys</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fields and streams</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tossed out of cars</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They bounce along highways</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Without a care</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While some</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lay for decades</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the local landfill</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
