The Way We Were: Poetry and Prose As Time goes By is the perpetual endeavor to express the spirit of the times, to surpass the body and search the life for a Soul. The body is always flowing away with time – therefore I must recapture and preserve some part of it in meaningful symbols and pictures and words. The Way We Were: Poetry and Prose As Time Goes By contains 400 poems and 74 pictures of women and men, animals and cars, vineyards and wineries. SAMPLE POEM I love a bottle of wine A loaf of French Bread, and A basket of delights. I desire an afternoon in a tree house with Hallie, Riding out on a bough, Over the Peace River. Canoes are drifting by beneath us, White puffy clouds in the sky. Paradise out in the wilderness, Paradise even now! Like Willie Nelson, I have offered my musing to all the college girls I have loved before. Without them no poetry of love, remorse, affairs of the heart would be possible. The Way We Were: Poetry and Prose As Time Goes By is the story of my life and philosophy from the perspective of my excitable imagination.
