The Blue Vineyard Of Voo Shining Stone: Sweet Sweet Jazz

The Blue Vineyard Of Voo Shining Stone: Sweet Sweet Jazz: Stop This Insanity by Gregory Porter and LaLa Hathaway SONG FOR YOU Donnie Hathaway Ribbon In The Sky Stevie Wonder Cantaloop( Flip Fantasia...

Lost At Sea

LOST AT SEA

I looked for you again today

Out on the sea down by the bay

I called your name into the sky

But only storm clouds passed me by.

The ships had come from journeys long

To bring their sailors back to home

To bring the weary home from sea

But there was no one there for me.

I gathered roses red and sweet

To make a carpet for your feet

I wrote a song to sing aloud

But could not find you in the crowd.

I walked for hours on the shore

Till I could see the sea no more

I watched the sunset turned to blood

And drown in midnight's darkened flood.

My roses wilted in my hands

And scattered there upon the sands

As tears afresh sprang from my eyes

I shook to clear my head of lies.

And turned for home, that lonely place

Devoid of love and of your face

That sailor's face who loves the sea

Who loves it so much more than me.

painting by Winslow Homer

SHIPWRECKED BY SHANE ALEXANDER

The song that inspired the poem

SHADOWLING

Celtic music

SHADOWLING

DOWN IN THE MEADOW WHERE THE WHIPPOORWILL CALLS
AND THE WEEPING WILLOWS GROW
THE MOON STAYS FULL MOST EVERY NIGHT
AND THE GOBLIN WINDS DOTH BLOW.

THERE IS A SHADOWLING BOY, THEY SAY
LIVING IN THAT PLACE
THEY'VE HEARD HIM LAUGH AND SEEN HIS TRACKS
THOUGH NONE HAVE SEEN HIS FACE.

UP ON THE ROOF IN MIDNIGHT'S DARK
DOWN BY THE WISHING WELL
THEY SAY HE HAUNTS THE VILLAGE GREEN
THEY SAY HE COMES FROM HELL.

WHEN MISCHIEF IS DONE, THEY SAY HE'S THE ONE
WHEN SOMETHING IS FOUND AMISS
THEY SAY HE'S TO BLAME, THOUGH NONE KNOW HIS NAME
AND I'VE COME TO INQUIRE ABOUT THIS.

FOR MANY MOONS, I'VE SEARCHED THE MEADOWS
THE FOREST AND THE TREES
AND CALLED FOR HIM, THE SHADOWLING BOY
BUT NO ANSWER HAS COME FOR ME.

I BROUGHT HIM ROSES FOR PRESENTS
AND BREAD THAT I BAKED MYSELF
AND WHEN I TURNED 'ROUND AT THE WISP OF A SOUND
THERE WASN'T A CRUMB OF IT LEFT.

ONE NIGHT IN THE STORM AS I STOOD BY THE BROOK
AS THE DAY FADED INTO TOMORROW
I THOUGHT I HEARD A LOW, LONELY CRY
AND I THOUGHT I FELT HIS SORROW.

IN THE LIGHTNING STRIKE, I SAW A SHADOW
AND THE SHADOW STOOD ALONE
I REACHED MY HAND OUT TO THE GHOST
BUT IN THE NEXT BREATH IT WAS GONE.

THE PEOPLE SAY HE'S EVIL
AND MALEVOLENT AND MEAN
BUT I DON'T THINK IT'S FAIR TO JUDGE
SOMEONE YOU'VE NEVER SEEN.

THE SHADOWLING BOY IS A FABLE, SOME SAY
AND OTHERS SAY, A MYTH
BUT I THINK HE'S REAL, IN MY HEART, I CAN FEEL
HE'S THE ONE THAT I WANT TO BE WITH.

I'LL SEARCH FOR HIM AS LONG AS IT TAKES
TILL THE END HAS TAKEN OVER THE WORLD
BUT THE THING YOU DON'T SEE 'CAUSE YOU CANNOT SEE ME
IS THAT ......I AM A SHADOWLING GIRL.

Suddenly

Suddenly

Floating on memories like clouds

Passing by on a soft southern breeze

I suddenly saw your face in the sky above me

I lay on emerald green grass

With my arms folded behind my head

That was immediately filled with images of you

I thought I had forgotten

I had tried to foget

But there you were as you had always been

And my heart burst

And my tears flowed

And the sky smiled as I fell in love with you again.

If Blues Is A Woman

If Blues Is A Woman

Honey, if blues, it is a woman

Well, then, heartache is a man

Can't nobody down here tell me

The devil don't have busy hands.

You see, the boys, they love to preach it

How they love us little girls

Then they love us and they leave us

Where they found us in this world.

Then they sit in bars till daylight

Talkin' how they was done wrong

Chasin' women, chasin' whiskey

Till ever drop o' love is gone.

Now, I've broke a heart or three

Had my share of dirty deals

Didn't love the one that loved me

So I know just how that feels.

But I never meant no evil

Never tried to do no bad

Made acquaintance with tha' lonely

Slept in rooms just full of sad.

Men say blues, it is a woman

Makes 'em hurt long as it can

But I say, if blues, it is a woman

Surely, heartache is a man.

I'll Take Care of You by Van Morrison

Make Me A Wish

Make Me A Wish

Make me a wish
Sing me a song
Tell me you love me
All the day long.

Tell me my fortune
Make sure it's good
Cook me a banquet
Let love be my food.

Dance me in moonlight
With wine quench my thirst
I'll be your last
Your ever, your first.

Paint my mouth with a sweet smile
That you'll long to kiss
Don't make me wait long
Make me a wish.

💓

Love, Like A Bird

Love, Like A Bird

I found some love in a world of lovelessness

It tumbled at my feet like a bird out of a nest

I picked it up and held it in my hand

It spoke to me but I didn't understand.

So I took it home and put it in my room

With lots of sun and space to help it bloom

I tended it and mended it's broken wing

And after many days, I heard it sing.

Never having heard a song of love

I wondered what this unknown thing was made of

And soon the wondrous marvel, with my aid

Began to find it's strength there as we played.

It hung about my shoulders happily

And sang and kept it's trusting eyes on me

And through the days and nights with stars above

A world of lovelessness, we fell in love.

And love taught me so much I never knew

How to know the false from what was true

How to tell the flatteries from charms

And captivated me within it's arms.

Each day I woke in joy and rose in bliss

Hungry for love's touch and for it's kiss

Tearing down the walls around my heart

I let my fear and loneliness depart.

Who knows what love is truly or can be

A mountain's height or depth of silver sea

Unbridled passion or a sweet embrace

Love changes form and often times, it's face.

We lived and loved like people ought to live

Giving love like lovers ought to give

No thought had I that it would ever end

That I would lose my lover and my friend.

I danced with it in joy around the room

So unaware of shadow or of gloom

The windows opened wide on that bright day

And when I wasn't looking, my love just flew away.
