This is the first poem I ever wrote and probably my favorite, so I like to reissue it from time to time...

"The Appalachian Moon"

I remember the first time I saw you.
You Shined.

We became as one on those warm summer nights
and I pulled down the stars for you.

I loved to lay with you in the meadows
under the Appalachian Moon.

We went hand in hand together
as the years went by we weathered
the storms.

and in the calm we stopped to remember
our Appalachian moon.

You were my light
and still would shine
an eclipse that came too soon.

I wake to reach you
But you are gone.
I struggle to the meadow, the stars out of reach
and weep with the Appalachian moon.

Hi.

For those who follow what's been going on with me and give a damn, I will say that today has been wonderful.....

Lots of calls and emails about my situation, and everyone has gone to great lengths to instill peace in my spirit and it has been a lovely day...

I spent time with my Alabama family and I went out and drove around the mountains here, taking black and white pics of the wintery leafless trees and the shadowy hills in the weak sunlight. I was completely at peace for a few hours and that is a gift from God.......He might be upset with me for my recent drifting away, but He sent me His love and embraced me in His loving arms,and I tearfully and humbly accepted His grace, with this, the best and most wonderful day I have had in months.

Thank you...God, family, friends, and loving Streamers for the lift in my spirits.

I am HAPPY today and I am relishing in each second of it.

With much love and affection to everyone,

Randy

A quick note so we can move onto new topics....

I fell asleep late last night while I was listening to a playback of some things I had recorded on my keyboards...

Woke up this morning with the light on and my keyboard still chirping away the loop I had running... I had laid back on my bed to listen and I was out cold in 1 second...........

So, I finally SLEPT!!!!!

Woot!

ok. Next Topic!!!!

I think I am gonna post about.... "The Genitalia: Horrible scourge on mankind or misunderstood friend to us all?"

Yes, I have had maybe 6 hours of sleep since Monday and I'm still up. I cant sleep. I wont sleep and I wont even try tonight.... I am at work filling out some contracts for next week but am ready to go home, take a long hot steamy shower and then compose music on my piano into the wee hours. I write all my best stuff in these times of borderline mental breakdown....especially in the small hours.

I'm not DOWN, really, just exhausted and under a staggering amount of mental stress...... so, I can lay in bed and toss and turn, or put on tea, light candles in a dark room, and compose music, which is my plan..........

God's got the thumb screws on me right now for getting lazy about my walk and that's ok. I will please God, family, and loved ones through this trial....cuz I'm a veteran of trials and they don't shake me up as much as they used to.
