Silence of the Deep! By L. Don Oliver
A gentle refreshing sea breeze, Waves splashing upon the __; Seabirds soaring above me; A beautiful new world to __;
In the shadows of my soul, The world above me ___; Slipping slowly beneath the waves, Into the silence of the _;
Serenity of quite solitude Rainbow creatures swimming ; Lovely flowering coral reefs, One is thankful to be ___;
Where there's rhyme and reason No imperative schedule to _; Controlling my own destiny, In the silence of the _;
Sounds from a distant whale, Echoes that I can barely _; Knowing that I am not alone, Deflates any questioning _;
Bubbles from a fissure below, Up through the darkened __; At peace with the world, In the silence of the _;
When life has passed me by, Broken dreams never to _; Things that I once enjoyed, Ever winding down to ;
If to die upon the morrow, From cause for eternal __; I pray thee my final rest, In the silence of the _;

"Our" Constitution! By L. Don Oliver
It once was a beautiful document, That was gracefully written there; And through all it's many years. It was giving great love and care;
Once it contain words of "Freedom", Words that resonated toward the high, Gathered within its wisdom, was hope, But alas, those days have gone by;
Now we are told to tear it up, Rendering it into a pile of dust; Viewing it as a pathetic relic, Worthy of only their disgust;
The meaning for which it stood, Now archaic with no charm; They are scripting a new one, That will never cause them harm;
