I awake early and
I have nothing to say
but your name.
I awake early and
I have nothing to remember
but your face.
I am the wild beast, who,
after being befriended,
turns to bite the hand
so gentle and understanding.
I awake early and
I have nothing to scream
but your name.

A scent of regret in your poetry, Jerry.

Time we call our own takes us down familiar roads, doesn't it? But I believe it's the untravelled road that renews us.

So, these days, I like to keep more in the windshield than in the rear view mirror.

A toast then, my friend...to "Nanette"...and you!    

...just bein' Bluesy
