Mindful

What mysteries lay within the human mind, that random thought might span decades and produce a poem from the ether, based upon nothing from the present, yet represent a future happenstance so perfectly. The years were 1962 through 1967. The Vietnam War was raging and growing and we waited to be drafted into the Unites States Army. This era also produced some of the greatest song writers, folk singers and artists of the ages. It was within that setting that I decided to write some verse, poems, rhyming, rhythm or none, or just to tell a story. They represent the story of everyone and if you look closely enough you will find your own.
