Evening Shadows Empty
PostSubject: Evening Shadows   Evening Shadows EmptyTue Jan 27, 2009 8:00 pm

Just to show y'all that an old beer-drinking, rebel flag-waving good
ol' boy can occassionally get in touch with his softer side... here's
one I wrote sometime in the 60's, hoping to put it to music. I think it
was Dick who asked in another thread, "How do you gag a maggot?"

Here's one way...

Evening Shadows

The darkness of evening shadows
All the beauty of the day
Earth is clothed in mourning clothes
Can night be here to stay?

But wait a few short hours
And dawn comes breaking through
To kiss the wakening flowers
And make diamonds of the dew

What Malcolm wrote!

How on earth could that gag a maggot?

Thanks, y'all! There was more but I couldn't find that old yellowed
spiral notebook that I wrote it in - sometime in 1960, I think. I even
had music for it...

Ann, glad you saw the metaphor!

You are both very talented. Now I shall probably dream of dragons and unicorns tonight! Happy ones, I'll wager.

An enjoyable piece, though I wished the worm was a bit longer. --Joe Wink
