"ALL AWAY"
All away,
To the place
Where gentle breezes blow
Behind us
To fill our sails.
All away,
To the place
Where stars reflect our
light
To guide us
To the place where we were
born.
All away,
To the calling
Of The Riverdance
That brings us all
Together in song.
All away,
To the place
Where we all understand
The Language
That floats in the air.
Let me hear you say...
"Hands across the water!"
When I hear you say...
"We are brothers and sisters
In The Stars."
Let me hear you say...
"Hands across the Oceans!"
When I hear you say...
"All are one!"
I wanna hear you say...
"Hands across the water!"
I wanna hear you say...
"We will be together
In this place!"
I hear you say...
"Hands across the Seas!"
I hear you say...
"I wanna be there!"
All Away....
"Deep South"
{For my "Mammy"}
Further South,
I am.
I'm headed
around the world.
I take, and leave,
and make
impressions as I go.
Leave me now.
I cannot let you go.
Believe in me,
or
please say you do
before you head
up North.
Leaving me
restless here,
and reckless
over there.
Oh...
I know
you can come to me
in dreams.
Oh...
But why
would you visit here
when The North can be so warm?
Deep South.
And, The East
is where
I make my bed.
But, The West
is where
I lay my head.
And, South
is where I'm headed fast
without your compass, now.
Oh...
I know
I can see you
where I can.
Oh... And...
I know
it's all part of some
convoluted plan.
Deep South.
Do you think of me
in your spare time
over there?
Did Jesus say
he loves me?
Or did you
even have to ask?
I feel
I'm on the threshold
of losing everything
I am.
And, will I
accept it
if I gain
The World?
Oh...
I know
I can walk
without you now.
Oh...
A Tribute
to all the time
you took
to teach me how!
DEEP SOUTH!!!...
( Black's Beach, North. 5:07 pm 28 January 1999)
After I finished writing this,
I walked further South on the beach
until I came to a rock, a place I
feel I was meant to rest.
Behind that rock
I found a "Crone Stick"
( a crooked walking stick with a
piece of the tree it came off of
clinging like a manitou or fetus
to it.) It is my new walking stick!
"Points North"
You gave of everything
You were here.
And, Selfishly
We wanted more.
I finally understand
The one you were in life.
The insecurities,
The pain.
You never knew
Everything I do...
Points North.
You never knew
Everything I do...
Points North.
And, why it is
Everything I do...
Points North.
And, now you're up there waiting
To enfold us in your wings.
Every time I think about that
I tell you, my heart sings!
You never understood
A lot of these things
You see in me.
We rarely found common ground
But, At least we found each other.
And, now you know
Everything I do...
Points North.
Now you know
Everything I do...
Points North.
And, why it is
Everything I do...
Points North.
And, now we understand each other
More than ever.
I wish we could talk about that
Face to face now.
We're gonna have a lot to talk about
When I get up there.
And, plenty of time
To do it in.
I never knew
Everything you did...
Points North.
I never knew
Everything you did...
Points North.
And, now I know
Everything you do...
Points North.
