unfinished and short works

DEATH

Death comes to all, but heed not it's siren call
Death comes to the old and those yet to crawl.
Most fear death,and try to hide, all in vain
For some it comes as surcrease from pain
To those souls I say, that in the end,
Death comes not in fear, but as a friend

Where

Where did the soda fountain go, that's not a mystery.
Like the mom and pop grocery store, lost to history.
The little stores where the owner greeted you by name.
The big box stores have no soul, it just isn't the same.
Starbucks tries and tries to shut down your local Coffee.
I won't drink Starbucks swill, even if offered to me free.
REBEL, REVOLT, find one of those stores left, so few.
you can help save it, and they'll be happy to see you.
Sure it is cheaper elsewhere, but the few pennies of cost.
Might secure/rescue a bit of nostalgia, before it is lost.
I.d call Mike at Millers hardware, tell him what I need..
It was ready when I got there, how's that for speed?
Try that with Loews, see how far it goes.
I am guilty as all, and saying it isn't at all nice.
We have sold part of our soul for a few pennies of price

Magic

Can any truly define Reality. As we ride on Lifes' Wheel.
Is what we touch and see, or is it what we hear and feel?
A madmans' sense of what is sane. we say "It's only within his mind".
But is his reality on a different plane, and so he leaves us all behind?
So Gentle reader, I tell you true. From my own 'reality'
I may be just a fool , but magic is very real to me
