I hide behind the beard
(From the Woodsman’s Notebook)
I hide be hind the beard but it’s not hard to understand
why. . I hide a disfigured heart of slices and scars.
Of one who is getting wary to try.
No it’s not a disfigured face that I wear. No it is only
to ward off people who just don’t care. For me a wall of
concrete and steel protects this heart mine but the
beard keeps everyone back at just beyond arms length
There was one who was able to get through the walls but
she didn’t last long she couldn’t deal with the beard
now she’s gone.
Compassion and sensitivity are what
I hide. But it’s trust and honesty,
which I abide. I hide behind the beard
until that day I may see that perfect lady
holding the God given key
The one who holds the real key will find that I can do
almost anything. If the wall falls will you be there to
pick up the pieces, or will you be there as I walk out
of the cloud of dust and piles of rubble. Are you sure
you want to meet the man Behind the beard?

Who cares anyway?
(From the Woodsman’s Notebook)
I wish I could understand the way I feel, no
control of life, no gripping the wheel. Family
and friends have tried their best, to bring me
out from a life depressed. My family those close
to me only heard what they thought anger come
from me. They didn’t help they didn’t hear the
plea.
Yes my mother and brother heard my plea, and yes
they tried to get the help for me. But about
then I fooled them some, they think they saw me
rise like the sun. My depression I hid so well
even where my wife walked out as well. The anger
she saw was not at all, when pain and loneliness
made its call.
I don’t know why I do what I do, when I am angry
I won’t talk to you. But when I am in pain or
emotionally hurt, it sounds like a temper when I
blurt. The words I used are emotionally
stressed; they don’t come out the very best. I
wish I didn’t have to talk or fight, maybe I can
get the correct words out when I write. But who
has the time to read all day. But who would care
anyway?
