It

Renior said it, with paint and canvass

Van Gogh echoed it as well

Shakespeare used his words

To speak, of loves... hell



Some light a candle

To soothe the weary soul

Others rely on wisdom and time

They amble, when dealt a crushing blow



Yet, some choose

Any means of solace they can

For me it’s three chord blues

Of Stevie Ray, and Bobbie Blue Bland



Never could paint an artists’ picture

Or rope the wind with song

So I try to use the words of endearment

To help the night move along



Reflections of past during the day

Dreams of love during the night

Speak to the heart of one in dismay

As I bask in the candle light



Dreams of a dreamer

Sometimes serve fitful restless time amiss

Taste the passion dream the dreams

Of far away, yesterdays

Love schemes, hearts in total bliss



Artists’ paint it

Poets write it

I remember it

My ramblings…show it
