The Wandering Soul
He was so young,
When he left home.
Forced to work,
And forever roam.
From town to town,
The young man Lived,
Never to discover,
What he did.
He lives in a world,
That is all his own,
No one may enter,
He likes it alone.
On a rainy night,
He lost his life,
A fellow traveler,
Used a blunted knife.
Forever free now,
His sprit does comb,
Looking for love,
And warm place to call home.

Fictional Gravely Falls, Colorado sits on the outskirts of ski country with beautiful views, wonderful landscapes… and murder. Dorothy Collins, the most beautiful woman in town is dead, mauled to death by a bear. Sheriff Hank Crenshaw thinks differently, a bear wouldn’t cause a nice clean slice across her neck. All clues point toward his best friend, a known stalker and would be thief. Lisa Hubbard, known around town for her crazy talk about UFO’s and seeing dead presidents, knows the truth about the murder. Will anyone believe her or will they think she has gone crazy.
Truth is a Blur

Sometimes I wonder,
What life’s about,
Sometimes I shudder,
I can’t figure it out.
Insanity and Mayhem,
Prejudice and greed,
These are a few,
Of the uncertainties.
I watch the news,
And read the paper,
Find more death,
Than in a movie caper.
If there is one thing,
I know for sure,
Life will change,
Truth is a blur.
