Based on the notion of
REV. WALTER LOCKHART …
dedicated to my friend,
the late, TOM MANLEY
who introduced me to
grace under fire …
OF HARD LIVING PEOPLE
...
Attend bona fide stories
Of hard living people
Not frozen, not chosen
Nor amused under steeple
The trodden ones down
No food on the plate
Eyes hard-boiled
No longer resonate

...
Attend bona fide stories
Of hard living people
Not frozen, not chosen
Nor amused under steeple
The trodden ones down
No food on the plate
Eyes hard-boiled
No longer resonate
Farther from joy
With a mindful sigh
Of better things resolved
And why couldn't I?
Fashioned in, aging out
No, no more fear
Faith gone awry
Untaken by cheer
A troubled cadence
A blameless rope
Deducing the darkness
Barely a flicker of hope
New Years Eve 2017
