COSMIC LIGHTNING ROD
Those icy potholed city streets
You wandered solely
Each step deadening your heartbeats
Killing you slowly.
|
They led you to a country lane
There you found a pub
And to a love you can't explain
Spokes linking a
hub.
|
There's magic in his metal strings
That tears your world apart
Old standards he sweetly sings
Pierce like Cupid's
dart.
|
Those syrupy Virginia tones
Learned in the mountains
Comfort your New York City bones
Like sun-drenched
fountains.
|
His misty maudlin drunken eyes
Relate his true love
And when he whispers silly lies
You coo like a
dove.
|
How did you live so long without
Your own Danny Boy?
Whose music makes you twist and shout
Overflowing joy.
|
Through him God shows His extra care
Art is sharing God
This kid just has more God to share
Cosmic lightning
rod.
