5 O'Clock Shadows: Lyrical Life, Vol. 5

By Gary E. Walden

"Huddled in the back seat of a Ford Fairmont, lighting up a joint, parked outside of the Pinon Pines nightclub, munching Chips Ahoy. Some call it an addiction, some call it bliss, I only know, I felt out of place, 'Cos, I wasn't cut out for this..."
"The wheels of her bicycle, they spin round and round, Nico pedals fast, Nico slows down. Humming with the bluebirds, as they sing, Nico loves the freedom this riding life brings..."
"He boarded a train to Kyiv, protecting his sacred passport, carrying his world inside his duffle bag, feeling anxiety and out of sorts. She crossed over the Polish border, clinging to her mother's hand, cuddling her worn stuffed unicorn, frightened of this foreign land. When we're not sure what to do, we need something to hold on to..."
These are just three excerpts from "5 O'clock Shadows", the fifth in a series of books written about unique people, life, love, Christian values, world events, and so much more, in song lyric form. Some will make you tear-up, some will enlighten you, but, most of all, they will entertain you. Having composed over 15,000 "song poems" over the course of my life, I've chosen more of the best pieces I've written, to share personal experiences and imagination from this gift I've been blessed with. I hope you enjoy them all. I can be contacted at Waldeg53@gmail.com with any comments or questions.
