Play The Piper

Enemies publish themselves. They declare war. The friend never declares his love. - Thoreau

Hear him coming.

See him go.

In his pleated kilt.

Blood about to be spilt.

Bayonet in one hand.

Bagpipe in the other.

Only enough breath for one ...

Author's Note

"Thaw with her gentle persuasion is more powerful than Thor with his hammer. The one melts, the other breaks into pieces." - Thoreau

[Patricia Wedel]

"beat the drum slowly and play the fife lowly...
take me to the green Valley, lay the soil o'er me...
I'm an old Cowgirl...". We never know when we
might stop breathing. However, each day is a Gift to be cherished...
uplifting the down-hearted. truly, Pat
