    Tales Told in Wood,Wind & steel

    rings,strings,
    different shapes
    mysterious,beautiful
    marvelous things

    aspens quaking,leaves shake
    no mistaking
    waves on the sea
    and
    on the lake

    buildings staright
    and
    tall
    one thing in common
    We have
    with them all

    Tales Told in Wood,Wind & steel

    chair I sit in
    for comforts sake

    canyon song echoes
    earth gives
    her strength
    this much I know
    she is our link


    Tales Told in Wood,Wind & steel

    they reveal
    a soul
    they reveal
    our zeal

    Tales Told in Wood,Wind & steel


    gives us heat
    gives us shelter
    refreshes the spirit
    in summers swelter

    sword stainless and straight
    cuts both ways
    for truths sake


    Tales Told in Wood,Wind & steel

    if you listen closley
    you can hear
    touch it,feel it
    it is real
    the
    Tales Told in Wood,Wind & steel

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
