FOREVER AND A DAY

        A song I wrote when I was trapped in one jail and then
another - and I couldn't reach my Baby, who was on the verge of leaving
me... and the cells were locked at 8:00 P.M. ... no late night
phone calls, no nothing.

"OH MY BABY
I'M ALL ALONE
AND I'M STUCK HERE ALONE
ON THE TELEPHONE...
YOU SAID YOU'D LOVE ME
AND YOU'D STAY THAT WAY
FOREVER AND EVER AND A DAY."





(C)1986-2019 by W.G. Milne

NOCTURNE

a slow apprehension of infinity
puts a perspective
on our daily concerns

sitting here
as the silver sun sets
behind the Milton hills

watching the traffic pass
on the 4-lane highway
the lights on the cars like
beacons within me

large budless trees unblossoming
as yet
a darkness under the soil

sensory deprivation creates
a great acceleration
of sense

infinity, this Lord's day
with us always
its riotous flowering

a grace of sense
elemental forms
unfolding

the depth of my love for you
is the depth of this 
soil, the height of the
glistening stars
the wheeling lights of
eternity in my hand
and only you who have left me
makes me sorrowful

otherwise I would laugh
laugh with the birth of 
suns

and the graceful exit
of this one
from the day.

HERE'S TO ALL THE SINGERS plus BABY, COME BACK plus IN THE MIDST OF THIS

I was a folksinger, way back when, when
I wrote and sang these songs.

Johnny Rock had been born, but was not a band-leader then. I was playing solo with an acoustic guitar.

AH, THE LOVE

AH THE LOVE!
____________
(1) I've got something to say to you,
You know a message you can use
They've been lying to us,
They never tell the truth
The greatest wars we ever fought
Were not fought below, above
The greatest journey known to man
Will take us to the love

(2) There's something missing here
I hope you understand
We're lost in a circus
Buying out our fellow man

Riding on an endless wheel

Driving madly without gloves

So lost in distraction

We never find the love,

Ah the love

3Catherine Hurtubise, Joan Gondola and 1 other

•  Sometimes you gotta stop     (3)

  Stop and just sit down
  Sit and watch the river flow
  Let others go to town

(2)There are Gospels written

There are Gospels written

No one has whispered of

Giving us the secret - - -

Of how to find the love,

Ah, the love
