Dedicated to a real gentleman and a poet that composed with the roots of truth embedded in his words. The Reason There's a Why When I expose my feelings something inside of me tells me I won't be the same I read the morning news I get the longing blues too many thoughts I can't explain. Give me good news where can it take me what can it do for me to make me a man the worst won't break me but never escape me the rest can heal me and I can heal the rest. When I see a moonbeam above a silent stream like a vision in the night I see the wisdom I see the everything I see the only peace in sight. It's there I get thinking what makes it all so bold when you're looking through the gift of life those precious times glow Lord I just want to know where I'm going bye and bye. Give me good news where can it take me what can it do for me to make me a man the worst won't break me but never escape me the rest can heal me and I can heal the rest. And if I stay there I'd never get anywhere but I can come back in time It's in that moonbeam it's in that silent stream it's in the reason there's a why. I have to make a note here...these words were writtten and posted by me before in one of the open poetry forums....when I was reading them today I thought they'd apply so I took the opportunity to dedicate them to Bill.......thanks! The role of poetry is to utter the un-utterable; to open up spaces of consciousness and resistance; to language oppressions; to re-language historie [This message has been edited by ethome (edited 07-07-2001).] |

He loved his poetry...and took much from his Bible to create it.... then he took some imagination and some artistry...always in an effort to answer someone's "why".... Thank you Ethome...thank you very much for this.... |
