When you're gone, I sing for you. I put my hair up and dance around- I kick my shoes off and touch the sky where soft grass and dusk are abound. I end up at the edge of the creek singing to the willows and the stones, harmonizing with the trickle-tickle, a duet in A minor with sad undertones. When you're gone, I miss you- the trees, creek, flowers and sky... the grass, birds, and the garden do too but we all sing instead of cry. And when I say 'good night' to the moon, I sing in my sleep 'cause you'll be home soon. |

Dixie, I always thought of you as the most wonderful country singer, your poems always having the perfect balance and pitch. I can so see you singing this. What a nice vision that really is. Richard xx |
