My angular and wandering travels....

I'm an international person, having spent 6+years of my youth in various Central and South American countries. Within my occupation as a television engineer, I've since traveled back to Mexico several times to film various religious sites, to Ireland to film a video documentary on the life of St. Patrick, to Portugal and England. Each time I took hundreds of pictures, wrote songs and poems about the things I saw and heard and felt go on around me, and tried to absorb a sense for what people in each locale thought. How they love, how they see, how they think.... My other sites: www.myspace.com/mothtoacandle http://community.webshots.com/user/waynocook www.soundclick.com/eddieaustin

When Unicorns and Fauns Gather

It's a foggy morning in the woods of the past,
The wizard has woven his spell and left,
All that needs happen now,
To fall upon this ground, the magic spell.
When unicorns and fauns gather and tell,
of the tales of knights and kings.
Regaling each other with the memories,
Of crowns and sceptors and rings;
Of polished armor and clashing steeds,
Spears and swords, and broken reeds,
Men struggle and sweat in fear
Grunts and pain, and blood and tears.
And when the telling was over,
All had drunk of the memory ale,
And all were satisfied with the tales,
They rose and toasted with blackberry wine
How must they missed the old times!
