It wasn’t just another starry night.

This one was special.

They heard it on the wind

as it blew in from the west, 

gently lifting the edges of their overcoats.

Something magic was about to happen.

Another starry night

When I was a little girl my family 

would spend every summer by the sea. 

It took forever to  drive there, 

or at least it felt like it did 

to someone as impatient as I.

I drove my parents crazy with my restless anticipation.

And then suddenly we’d come around that old familiar bend 

and there it was - the sea, the sea, the sea!

Every summer by the sea

Burly Crumb was a loner.  Mostly he stayed indoors watching minutes tick by

on his old kitchen clock. But one day, one fine spring day, he stepped outside just to see what it was like

out there in the great outdoors.


He was so impressed he decided to stay there.

Out there

It takes courage.

You can’t dally

or stand your ground

or stick to your principles

just because that’s what you’ve 

always done.

Deep down you know 

it’s time for a change.

So go on. 

Take that leap of faith.

Although there was a faint promise of spring in the air

we still feared that this year it wouldn’t come.Yet it did! 

Now we are feeling so hopeful, we are starting to believe

that summer will come as well.

We are still waiting.

and count the stars as you fly away.

and in love with themselves

Cruisin' down main street

Smokin' and swearin'

were a jumbled sticky mess

and nothing less

There was

no saying no to Sherman.

Anything from a mild warning

to a flat out lockdown

would do nothing but stoke

his rebellious penchant

for showing off.

Mabel was unsure about herself.

Somebody once told her that

she was not a good person

and she often feared that it might be true.

 

But today she remembered,

almost as an afterthought

one good deed that she had done. 

And a few minutes later,

she remembered a couple more.

Afterthought

Oh the unfairness of it all.

There’s the whole town,

fast and happily asleep.

And then there’s you.


Still awake.

Today he found out.

You turn the corner and keep on going.

The day goes so slow, so slow.

Filled with nothing

but never-ending have to’s.

You wonder

Will it never end?

 

Then suddenly it’s evening

and there’s the sun

hanging low in a glowing sky

You wonder

Where did the time go?
