Morning Blues

Morning Blues

Sometimes, when I awaken
I feel so weak, so small
I wish I could remain
In this comfortable slumber
Where I could reshape what's gone wrong
Like a potter's wheel, with soft morning clay
But then the wistful touch
Of morning's breath
Opens my eyes to the gentle reminder
Of all the fragile days I've had
I rise to my feet
And I recall
Each and every
Precious,
God-given day
And so,
I grab my guitar from its place
And I begin to play
The music
That is
My life...

My Dear Brother Poet Tony,

The music of you, is the music of us. ย You strum the beautiful words that warm our hearts. ย You thumb pick our souls. ย You take us to far away ethereal places. ย Your life mesmerizes us, for it has produced our beloved Tony Taylor.

Peace, Love and Rockets,
