Wrote this one back in '73 in San Diego at the Marine Corps recruit depot the night I gratuated.

Cement Trees

Standing at night
in a city built of cold stone.
Looking for familiar stars overhead;
I begin to remember sights
now not seen.
I remember years gone by
in a trappers cabin;
wood smoke adhered to rough walls and eve,
door standing open,
welcoming;
all who ventered to visit
or say "Hello".
Fellow chasers of the wild.

Hoot-owl singing me to sleep.
Rustle of dried leaves in the night breeze,
silent clouds moving in the night:
and I naming stars after friends
and loves I once knew.
They no longer exist to me,
in this city made of stone.
It's street lights
blocking drifting memeories of all ..
I once knew and would never know again.

Hard to imagine what would lay ahead on that night, funny how you always go to your "happy place" in those times of strife.
Semper Fi!
