Cresting hills
Are what became of
Song filled valleys
Where we strode
We walked this way
Goodbyes unspoken
We’d never know
Just “HELLO” and
“What you know”
We walked this way
Wasting time
Not our mind
Second guessing
Not our kind
We walked this way
The Darkness
Between us
Lit
Our road
The Love
We shared
Was
Our abode
Not a crime
We never
Wondered “Why?”
“Freewheelin”
Left that behind
As Dylan
Said
In every song
Short or long
Doesn’t matter
Anyway
We walked this way
Lance Giroux was born in a remote Arizona mining town. He served in the Army until 1977. Post military he began working with individuals, businesses, government agencies, and schools - assisting in effective communication, service, and leadership. In 2000, he began to understudy and be mentored by the American author George Leonard – the award-winning editor of Look Magazine. The arrangement demanded international travel. While he traveled, he wrote and documented what he saw, felt and learned - www.alliedronin.blogspot.com. In 2017, Lance bought a cabin near Cobb Mountain and moved. In 2019, he opened Aikido of Konocti in order to serve Lake County with the philosophy and practices of Aikido, a Japanese martial art. He travels less. He enjoys the forest, a place where he can slow down, listen, practice ... and write.
