Ann of the Borderlands...
Cloud Shadow 76
Ohhhhhhh but
I'm
so
far away now ~
Lost in
Deep
Desert
some howwwwwww ~
Dreams are dreamed just
to be
shattered
in two ~
Dreams
of
me
and Youuuuuuu...
Cloud Shadow 77
Has it really been
two hundred years
since from Yuma
I've floated beyond?
Les' I forget,
Ann might
very well be dead
dead and long gone ~
And
I'm
still
alive ~
Skull n' bones
only
but still I
duty-do strive ~
How did this
happen?
Why
is it so?
Perhaps You
and I,
oh reader, will
never never know ~
Perchance the whole
planet Earth
is
Deep Desert now ~
And I'm speaking from
way out
in the future
some how-ow-ow-owwww...
Cloud Shadow 78
And
God's
Light
is a glare ~
Where
ever
I
stare ~
It's
a
blaze in this canyon's
towering rocks ~
That tell of so
many ages
like
old grandfather clocks ~
It's in the tiny leaves
of the scraggly shrubs
all
around ~
Sparkles
all
over this
Deep Desert ground ~
At night
I can
see the edge of
its grand halo ~
Above the damn
dam
beyond which
I cannot go ~
There It
is
brightest
of all ~
Thee almighty
Great
Spirit's
ca-ca-ca-calllllll!!!
Cloud Shadow 79
Time passes slowly
as me olde boat
stays
parked in the air ~
In front of this monolithic
block of concrete that
fills me
with deadly despair ~
Who built this damn
thing?
why
is it there?
These questions
and more
make me
squirm in my chair ~
As
I
sit
and stare ~
Out the shattered
pilot house window of
ye olde tug boat
stuck in 'de air...
Cloud Shadow 80
Alas!
the
heart ache
of it all ~
The damn thing is
full o' cracks but
it'll
never ever fall ~
It's so damn
wide, it's
so
damn tall ~
Ten zillion tons of
bleak concrete
'tween me
and God's call ~
Whoa!
a
flash
of Light ~
From out of a
crack
in the big dam
takes flight ~
Two heaven filled
eyes
in a little sun
of God-awful Light ~
Jus' anudder angel
off n'
away n'
alas! outta sight...
Oh oh, more spiritualities arriving...
