            Take this cup of love away
            I no longer think I'm able
            to partake of the feast of life
            while seated at love's table

               Slow charades of the past
               we walk thru
               looking on the forms we've turned
               the surfaces of our lives

            These weeks and months
            wait on the seasons of our heart to turn
            tender touches and looks of loss
            the actors turning to dust

                                 gallagher

                     Its so hard to know
                       as I push love away
                          so many wait to hold her.

                     My pain and my jealousy
                       walk hand in hand
                          behind damp eyes.

                     And I think
                       she'll be a treasure
                          to someone who needs her.

                     And I'll remember it a thousand times
                       when I'm needing her
                          and she's gone.

                     And then I'll wait alone
                       for my need to pass
                          praying for my will to last.

                                    gallagher

Monday, March 3rd, 1975 
               Saw myself today
                 in the reflections of others
               and as I would have them do
                 I did not
                    but this time I caught it.

               Dave Whitcomb would be my friend
                 save for the gap
                    I've never braved....

                 To stand equal and accepting
                    with him, of him, for him,
                 and so it is with others
                   and myself.

                                    gallagher
                                    3 mar 75
