    About this ebook

    Barry Plamondon keeps the magic alive, speaking to us through his unique verse and rhyme. He leads on a path of nostalgic memories while guiding us on his journey into a world of dreamy days and starry nights, reminding us to seek the simple everyday joys of life. Even when we struggle with the challenges of life, Barry's poetry speaks to the resilience of the human spirit, reminding us to always "Run Between The Raindrops" and to keep on keeping on.His soulful words touched me deepest "in the places that have been broken", bringing light to "The Shadows".

    The last poem brings us back to the first, and is best said in Barry's own words, "All I need to know about those little points of light Is they’re sparkling and shining so beautiful tonight".

      I had left my passport at an inn we stayed at for a night or so whose name I couldn’t remember. This is how it began. The next hotel would not receive me. A beautiful hotel, in an orange grove, with a view of the sea. How casually you accepted the ro

      Dedicated to the memory of Ellen Brenda Pelletier.

      Beautiful Tonight

      Does a star shine brightest just before it dies?

      Before it burns up and falls from the skies

      As I gaze up at stars sparkling overhead

      I wonder if it’s true some are long since dead

      Sometimes it’s just too much for me to think about

      Overthinking ruins the ambiance no doubt

      All I need to know about those little points of light

      Is they’re sparkling and shining so beautiful tonight

      Water

      I turn on the faucet to see if water will flow

      Most days it does, some days, no

      I have learned I don’t need water everyday

      I can usually find myself another way

      Over time I’ve learned so many ways to thrive

      And I’ve always received enough water to survive,

      I’ve learned to be ready for the floods in my own way

      Knowing I may find the well dry on another day

      Grecian Nights

      Another Grecian night

      Stargazer’s delight

      The ancient Greeks

      Loved to study the stars

      And the planets too,

      Jupiter and Mars

      Archimedes, and

      The great Pythagoras

      Among ancient astronomers

      They were the very best

      Spending countless nights

      Studying the sky above

      Discovering new stars

      And constellations to write of

      Stronger

      You’re stronger in places that have been broken

      No truer words were ever spoken

      Than these by the great Hemingway

      A man who loved to have his say

      The Old Stone Church

      There’s an old stone church

      That stands on the corner

      It’s been there for over
