Some of my favorite song lyrics and poetry. A Horse With No Name - America. On the first part of the journey. I was looking at all the life. There were plants and birds and rocks and things. There was sand and hills and rings. The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz. And the sky with no clouds. The heat was hot and the ground was dry. But the air was full of sound. It felt good to be out of the rain.

A collection of my poetry. As darkness falls earlier and earlier,. And ends later and later. And the most stubborn of leaves lose their battle to stay hanging on,. There comes a chill in the air. A bone-chilling, teeth-chattering reminder,. That what is warm and colorful and bright. Must always come to an end. And as if cued by an invisible conductor,. The winds breathe out a series of strong. Leaves scatter and get trapped in the corners of the walls of old hollowed-out buildings.
