The Waveries

Fredric Brown (October 29, 1906 – March 11, 1972) was an American science fiction, fantasy, and mystery writer. He is known for his use of humor and for his mastery of the "short short" form—stories of 1 to 3 pages, often with ingenious plotting devices and surprise endings. Humor and a postmodern outlook carried over into his novels as well. One of his stories, "Arena", was adapted to a 1967 episode of the American television series Star Trek. According to his wife, Fredric Brown hated to write. So he did everything he could to avoid it. He'd play his flute, challenge a friend to a game of chess, or tease Ming Tah, his Siamese cat.

 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

Max appeared on the first day of summer 
Adopted the day he was born
Raised in a garden of love and compassion 
And nurtured with insights each morn

A strong enough man, he worked with his hands 
No task too tough to unwind
At night he would dabble in music and verse 
And sing you a piece of his mind

And when his heart would wonder
'Bout where he might fit in this place
He remembered
Someone once told him the Earth was his Mother 
His brothers and sisters the lives upon her face

Max always thrived on his friendships with others 
He worked and he laughed and he loved
But there would be days when he needed his space 
And a place to reflect on his life

On the solstice of summer, the Black Hills were calling him 
Back where his spirit could soar
Alone in the wilderness speaking to nature
And searching for the sense of it all

And when his heart felt lonely
For one familiar face
His comfort was knowing the Earth was his Mother 
His brothers and sisters the lives upon her face

On a full moon's night, with campfire sight 
And smoke swirling moods undefined 
Telegraph winds through the pines spoke to him 
And startled his heart and his mind

Max was unnerved by the pleas that he heard 
And by nature's spectral display
"Come be my messenger, help save my children 
I'll guide you, you'll show them the way"

And when his heart was frightened
By the voices so hard to embrace
His comfort was knowing the Earth was his Mother 
His brothers and sisters the lives upon her face

His comfort was knowing the Earth was his Mother 
His brothers and sisters the lives upon her face
