in memory of ben keith
man of steel
heard your sound
as i roamed
in early days
of wonder
time was right
cast that spell
ever since
i've been under
bendin' notes
waves of air
all colors
of emotion
dark and light
deeply stirred…
a variation of the irish traditional song, "Siun Ni Dhuibnir"

for market to buy and sell
as others before me

and sat down to drink
with susan o'dwyer to tell
we drank…

Nice poem Nice metaphor. "Where the day turns night" The crack between the worlds of darkness and light. You gotta get that message out to the world. You got to show them the light. PEACE/LOVE/HOPE Well done!
