SAVANNAH NIGHT

SAVANNAH NIGHT



The orchestra summons
Triple four time waltz
She stands before her mirror
Rouge applied with loving care
Her dancing eyes
Kaleidoscope in motion
Sultry sweet heat
Savannah night comes alive
Horse drawn carriage
Rhythmic beat
Down streets of cobblestone
Aromatic Brandy
Pungent cigar smoke
Her suitor
Waiting patiently
Erie Spanish moss
Spooky cloak
Low country concert
Crickets hold their serenade
Nobel slice of time
Genteel existence
So long ago
Once upon a Southern dream

Once more
The man
A hologram

DIG IT (A song about life)....

DIG IT

Just a game
I’ve come to realize
Elevated ego
Somber loneliness
Life
Lust
Laughter
The guttural ache variety
Significant happenstance
Synchronized timing
No coincidences
True essence is connection
Human intimacy
Sense of well being
Safety
In it’s purest form
Love
Compassion
Humility
What it’s all about
Soul rhythm
Open minded progress
So captivating
Dig it

ART OF DISAPPEARANCE

ART OF DISAPPEARANCE


Ashes swirling
Scorching wind
Art of disappearance
Ruthless mind games
Doleful consequences
Once
A love so fair
Hope
Satisfaction
Drifting premonition
Not meant to understand
Simply suffer onward
Acceptance
The key
Clarity
Lessons learned
Doomed relationship

SACRED ESTUARY

SACRED ESTUARY


So easily forgotten
Self inflicted misery
Transcendental crossroads
Souls are sold
For gilded greed
We feed our mind with anima
Futile explanation
Sacred estuary
Lonesome path indeed
Wayward hero
Unassuming
Humble visionary
Stalwart acquiesce
Incidental doubt
To measure valor
Keen success
Look beyond the tomb
Loyal subjects
Kindred souls
Surrounded by devotion
Legacy of love
Compassionate behavior
Legendary kindness
Penetrating peace
