      by

      David H. Keith

      1948 - 2014

      Copyright ©2012 David H. Keith

      David H. Keith was an early and steady contributor to Top Writers Block(TWB) since the second publication in 2011. He regarded himself as an unrepentant Hippie Child of the Earth, and a firm believer in social justice, inherent freedoms, and equality and opportunity for all. He passionately believed in love, peace, and laughter. Beginning a medic during the Vietnam War, he later served the public as a paramedic and as a care provider at an intensive care unit at a veterans’ hospital. His fiction, poetry, journalism, photography, and editing all received awards. His work sometimes still appears in TWB collections, submitted by his wife, author Elizabeth Rowan Keith.

      The road loses itself

      in darkness beyond

      my headlights.

      Ahead, unknown.

      Behind, forgotten.

      Left and right,

      pinpricks of lights

      pierce night’s fabric—

      thoughts half-remembered.

      Wind whisper-shouts against windshield—

      companion to engine’s hum

      and eternal scrape
