a little more snow



slow winter morning coffee walk
a bit of bliss really
new snow clings to old spider webs
the temple dog shivers...shakes
inside Johnny Cash sings of Christmas

    Old Ollie,

    Wrapped up in spite of the snow. An inner feelgood warmth enhanced by the melodious tones, of Johnny Cash. A master of words too..and for the right moment....

    Warmest Wishes, Eileen

    Love the "bit of bliss" - the tired monk's eyes are always open to the beauty around him. That's what I love about reading these poems - I get to share the lovely scenes!

    Love Cash. Love this poem. Check out You Tube: Dylan and Cash, Girl From the North Country. Doesn't Get better. Many thanks for your kind comments.

    Oh, Johnny Cash... didn't "get" him when I was young and snobbily steeped in jazz. After I heard the track he wrote for "Dead Men Walking" soundtrack, I finally understood the depth of his feeling. Then I went back to the Folsom days, and my appreciation blossomed to real love for his authenticity of spirit. Great poem, Ollie! Amy

    Oh! somehow i have the good fortune to own a cd with johnny cash singing christmas AND dialogue of he on stage with family and friends. it is the dialogue that fills me. i will send you a copy if you'd like. can i do this? i mean, physically, is it possible through e-mail? i think so. if you'd like e-mail me at thetinyleaf@gmail.com and i will send it off to you.

    all the best over the holidays! well, and always, of course.
