The Fold

The Fold

They were taught what to think,
and thought what was told.
That the ice was quite hot,
and the fire was quite cold.

Don’t believe what you see,
it’s a lie you’ve been sold.
You’ll be safe in the flock,
you’ll be safe in the fold.

Poem Poetic Prose

Born in North Carolina, he spent his early childhood in the Appalachian mountains. There he was weaned on gospel and bluegrass music, as well as tales of ghosts, will o the wisps and faeries in the misty highlands. Now retired, and living in northwest Florida, he spends as much time as possible on the rivers and in the woodlands.
