    Gary Hawkes

    Gary Hawkes spent most of his child hood years on Whidbey Island in western Washington, aside from three years spent in Japan during his mother and step-father's Navy deployment. The experience of living in Japan and calling that country home and then moving back to the U.S., had quite the effect on the young aspiring writer; a unique perspective on what it means to be an American.Early on however, Gary's interests were mostly in music and sports. It was periodic encouragements from family and specifically a high school teacher that spurred Gary to pursue writing more diligently later on. Most of the writer's early work were simple short stories and some poetry.Several years after graduating college he published his first collection of poems and followed quickly after with several more books of poetry and short stories. Currently living in Washington State.

      Tales from the Forgotten Trail

      By Gary Hawkes

      Copyright Gary Hawkes 2014

      Smashwords Edition

      Maybe

      I’ve probably left too much to luck

      Worrying too much about things out of my control,

      The next woman I want to fuck

      Dirty little boy, squandering opportunities to get unstuck

      So now back to the beginning with little money and no real home,

      Spend the days idly searching for the easiest way to make a few bucks

      But maybe, just maybe, things will work

      Maybe, just maybe, I’ll go a different route

      And maybe I’ll be happy

      And maybe I’ll have some fun

      And maybe I’ll live this life with a little more love

      Now this life has become an open book

      Airing out everything in hopes of getting a different look

      And dreaming of performing,

      Leading a great band

      Touring all over the once proud promise land

      But just need that one last helping hand

      But maybe, just maybe, things will work

      Maybe, just maybe, I’ll go a different route

      And maybe I’ll be happy

      And maybe I’ll have
