Riding The Rails

Riding The Rails

by Lord R.e. Taylor

Let’s step back in time

Take a ride through a wonderland

Hear the clicks of the wheels

Feel the rocking of the cars

You can almost imagine the past

Cowboys and ladies traveling west

Building a new frontier

While trying to avoid masked bandits

As well as pissed-off Indian tribes

You never knew what was going to happen

But such was life back in our history

Whenever you went aboard a steam locomotive

Scary Night

Scary Night

by Lord R.e. Taylor

It is so strange at night

You swear that monsters do exist 

They wander the world

Looking for an unaware you

Watching from the shadows

Waiting for you to make a mistake

Only then will they appear

With only one thing on their mind

They want your immortal soul

And they don't care what they have to do

They do know one thing that you don't

You will not make it home tonight

Magic Of The Forest

Magic Of The Forest

by Lord R.e. Taylor

The wilderness is such a beautiful place

A place where you can go and forget

It does not matter what you want to lose

Everything bad will be gone in just moments

Just listen to all of the spirits who live there

Their songs will lift you to places you have never seen

With serenity to calm every nerve

To make every dream a very pleasant one

They will even show you hope if it is lacking

Just go there for a minute, an hour, or even a day

So, take a chance and see what your new life would be

Yes the forest will do that and so much more for you

If you just give it a chance

Saving My Life

Saving My Life

By Lord R.e. Taylor

I have been freezing

Trying to get a little warm

Even my nose is frozen

But I know what I have waiting

Warmth and sugar all in one

It is just a couple of more blocks

I can already smell the cocoa

And I dream of the marshmallows

I open the door and rush to the kitchen

Yes, it is there just waiting for me

God, I love my wife

She knows how to save my life

The Waiting Portal

The Waiting Portal

By Lord R.e. Taylor

Walking through the forest

You look and see a treasure

A portal to another reality

Just as beautiful as the one you are in

Do you dare take another step

Go through to the other side

Or stay where you feel safe

That, my friend, is up to you

The portal will be waiting for you

If you ever pass this way again

Johnny Flowerseed

Johnny Flowerseed

by Lord R.e. Taylor

You must be someone new

Another Johnny Appleseed

Leaving flowers wherever you walk

So, please travel the world

Bring life and beauty wherever you go

And we will remember your name

A New Life

A New Life

by Lord R.e. Taylor

So many people pass by

Every morning and evening

Plain black asphalt for miles

No one looks away from their phones

They miss so much

Yes, it was a miracle

Only taking one day

A new life sprang into the world

Even with that no one looked

They just walked away

Never caring about anything

Yeah, it was just a flower

But it was life and it was beautiful

Too bad you didn’t see it

Her Small Town Hero

Her Small Town Hero

by Lord R.e. Taylor

She loved her small town

Such characters everywhere

The one she loved best was Turner

He says that he is more than 200 years old

Yet everyone thinks he is in his 80s

He tells fantastic stories

Every one about his life long ago

For a man who voted for Thomas Jefferson

His mind is still sharp as a whip

And, for that small town

Turner is a treasure they can never lose

A King And A God

A King And A God

By Lord R.e. Taylor

You were known long before white men landed

A legend that no one ever had the chance to see

You were both a king and a god

Watching over every creature of the forest

Yet you never asked for anything

It was just your love for those weaker than you

True, you may not exist except in stories

But the forests would not be the same without you

And that would be a shame
