His vocabulary

her vocabulary
every word fits into its space
like a classroom

her vocabulary
each word carries its own weight
as it files into my mind

her vocabulary
notes of the morning birds
that strain to sing

her vocabulary
my mind polished
like silver

her vocabulary
the calisthenics of her mind
in my mind

her vocabulary
the precision of her mind
etched onto my heart

her vocabulary
sublime as a glass of
evening whisky

her vocabulary
strikes like
glitters of diamonds

his vocabulary
my brain has no space
to breathe

his vocabulary
every piece of writing
has become a thesis

his vocabulary
he asks to take him
as he is

his vocabulary
she feels he is not true
to his own feelings

his vocabulary
she asks it is weaned from
dictionary or experience

his vocabulary
she asks he is out to impress
or express

Feelin Down Farther

Tom johnston
Well, the sun is shinin
A new day is here
All the people smilin
And the sky is clear
Not an hour wasted will I share with you
Got to keep lovin, mama
No matter what I do
Ooh, ooh, ooh

Feelin down farther
Feelin farther down
Feelin down farther, baby
Feelin farther down
Feelin down farther
Feelin farther down
Feelin down farther, baby
Feelin farther down
Jesus, hear me
When I sing out loud
The echoes of my gladness
Fall upon the crowd
I dont care for sadness
And I dont need fear
I hope they finally realize
That the feelin is near
Ooh, ooh, ooh
I got to tell you
Feelin down farther
Feelin farther down
Feelin down farther, baby
Feelin farther down
Feelin down farther
Feelin farther down
Feelin down farther, baby
Feelin farther down
Givin and receivin

Some of you will find it
And youll probbly let it show
Only one thing that I know to be true
Every day is different, mama
And so are you
Ooh, ooh, ooh
I got to tell you
Feelin down farther
Feelin farther down
Feelin down farther, baby
Feelin farther down

Feelin farther down
Feelin down farther, baby
Feelin farther down

Science gives us a powerful vocabulary, and it is impossible to produce a vocabulary with which one can only say nice things.

Elusive Dreams

Each day I search
for that elusive dream,
the one that is just out of reach.
The closer I get to it,
the farther it seems away.
Always it seems farther
than my arms can reach.
One day I hope to catch it,
but I’ve been saying that for years.
I’ve watched other people reach out
and their dreams are there,
but mine just seem
to be moving farther
and farther away from me.

A Visionary's Vocabulary

Have fun when you venture outside today
Take care when the cold drives you away
Hold on to my hand when you're in need
Turn and walk away, you've done your deed

You've taken my thoughts, you've broke them in two
Even my words, are battered and bruised
When I looked at you, I saw a visionary
Now I just see a poor soul, with a strong vocabulary

Your life is a gift, don't throw it away
Fun is still here, when learning's gone astray
Still I'm not sure, what I should do
Poison is fun, but fun is through

My mind is still running, my thoughts they run true
The colors of time, a patient virtue
So learn to have fun, and speak for yourself
Because nothing exists, and everything else

Farther Along

Tempted and tried
We're oft made to wonder
Why it should take us
All the day long
While there are others
Living about us
Never molested
Though in the wrong.
Farther along
We'll know all about
Farther along
We'll understand why
Cheer up my brother
Live in the sunshine
We'll understand it
All by and by.
--- Instrumental ---
When we see Jesus
Coming in glory
When he comes down from
His home in the sky
Then we shall meet him
In that bright mansion
We'll understand it
All by and by.
Farther along
We'll know all about
Farther along
We'll understand why
Cheer up my brother
Live in the sunshine
We'll understand it
All by and by.
We'll understand it
All by and by...

Dream Madam

Ever indebted I am to her beauty,
An eternal gratuity to her furtive grace.
She who spun this globe so astutely,
From saccharine thoughts beyond time and space.
Her love a visitorless treasure;
Her thoughts an endless stream of bliss.
Onward orbits her twining measure,
Inebriating ripeness upon her lips.
A billion pleasingly sweet princesses
In one glance of her gorgeous loveliness,
Beyond all pleasure a word addresses
Or borrows vocabulary to express.
My humble gratefulness could swim any sea,
A ravishing beauty she may ever be.

Farther Along

(traditional - arranged by elvis presley)
(well understand it all by and by)
Tempted and tried were oft made to wonder
Why it should be thus all the day long
While there are others living about us
Never molested, though in the wrong
Farther along well know more about it
Farther along well understand why
Cheer up my brother live in the sunshine
Well understand it all by and by
When death has come and taken our loved ones
Leaving our homes so lonely and drear
Then do we wonder how others prosper
Living so wicked year after year
Farther along well know more about it
Farther along well understand why
Cheer up my brother live in the sunshine
Well understand it all by and by

As I got farther and farther along in the series I did less and less preparation. I didn't use outlines or sketches. I just had a vague idea of what I wanted to tell and then the dialogue just came to me as I was inking the page.

Farther Along (feat. Dolly Parton & Linda Ronstadt)

(W.B. Stevens - J.R. Baxter)
Tempted and tried we're oft made to wonder
Why it should be thus all the day long
While there are others living about us
Never molested though in the wrong.
When death has come and taken our loved ones
It leaves our home so lonely and drear
Then do we wonder why others prosper
Living so wicked year after year.
Farther along we'll know all about it
Farther along we'll understand why
Cheer up my brother live in the sunshine
We'll understand it all by and by.
--- Instrumental ---
Faithful till death said our loving Master
A few more days to labor and wait
Toils of the road will then seem as nothing
As we sweep through the beautiful gates.
Farther along we'll know all about it
Farther along we'll understand why
Cheer up my brother live in the sunshine
We'll understand it all by and by.
Yes, we'll understand it all by and by...

Travelers Of The Sea

The farther west we travel
The farther west we'll be

Among the ocean schooners
Beyond the endless sea

The farther west we travel
The more at rest we'll be

For here the sea is master
For all eternity

The sea has songs of mystery
That beckon us to go

And only we can follow
The songs the sea bestow

Forever we must follow
The oceans of the deep

The timeless seas of hollow
Forever must we seek

Father

Beat me down, one more time
Words of love, hard to find
Gotta find my mother, she wont lie
Where the hells my father
Farther, farther
You like to lie
Swimming in the water
One last time
Imagination cross my mind
I beat the bush, I beat the bush
Shove me down
Where the hells my father
Farther, farther
You like to lie
Father, old man, can you find me
Father, old man, do you care
Father, old man, can you find me
Do you care
Father
You like to lie

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Ultima Thule: Elegiac

Dark is the morning with mist; in the narrow mouth of the harbor
Motionless lies the sea, under its curtain of cloud;
Dreamily glimmer the sails of ships on the distant horizon,
Like to the towers of a town, built on the verge of the sea.

Slowly and stately and still, they sail forth into the ocean;
With them sail my thoughts over the limitless deep,
Farther and farther away, borne on by unsatisfied longings,
Unto Hesperian isles, unto Ausonian shores.

Now they have vanished away, have disappeared in the ocean;
Sunk are the towers of the town into the depths of the sea!
All have vanished but those that, moored in the neighboring
roadstead,
Sailless at anchor ride, looming so large in the mist.

Vanished, too, are the thoughts, the dim, unsatisfied longings;
Sunk are the turrets of cloud into the ocean of dreams;
While in a haven of rest my heart is riding at anchor,
Held by the chains of love, held by the anchors of trust!

If you lived in the Dark Ages, and you were a catapult operator, I bet the most common question people would ask is, 'Can't you make it shoot farther' No. I'm sorry. That's as far as it shoots.

An orphan's world

The world is hell like when pleasures are shunned,
He wishes to cry his cry is ceased,
Seeing all this humanity remains stunned,
Its value seems to be utterly decreased,
Everything seems to him farther and farther,
When the child loses his most loving father.

We find them smaller and fainter, in constantly increasing numbers, and we know that we are reaching into space, farther and farther, until, with the faintest nebulae that can be detected with the greatest telescopes, we arrive at the frontier of the known universe.

Incorrect

Of a reckless life,
Of a reckless act,
Of the windows of the odds in a society without a clue;
How many clues do i have to give before you make the right decision?
Come back to reality and come to the truth.

You are scurried away like bats and,
I am with the timid crowd outside;
But, come back to reality to gain your status in life.
Of my day,
Of your days,
Of our time to share together in life;
Sometimes we have to play together before we get what we want.

Soon it is time to get dressed for an occasion,
But do slide down to listen to the story;
Like love under the greenwood tree.
Reckless life and reckless acts,
When are my people going to learn? !
To the teacher,
To the soldier,
And to the farmer;
The mistake of the nights are vocabulary incorrect!

The variety of literature,
The exploration of my mind on paper;
But, is this the drama? !
Of words and deeds,
Of visions and missions,
Words without thoughts do not go to heaven!
But i am courageously impressed than a discouraged mouse.

I am bravery than a coward ice and,
I don't have to live a reckless life;
No, it is mathematically incorrect! !
Compare my status and compare my masculine acts of my impetus,
For i am vocabulary named after a King like the muse of my mind.

Just as your car runs more smoothly and requires less energy to go faster and farther when the wheels are in perfect alignment, you perform better when your thoughts, feelings, emotions, goals, and values are in balance.
