Flameout......Remembering Jim Morrison

Flameout…… remembering  Jim Morrison


Dreams run into the wind

      Sending waves crashing into flames rising

                From the oil burning on the brains of skyscrapers

                                                                Selling shares of forgotten songs

                                                                                             Lost in green pyres of greed
 
                                                                                                                                      
                  the safe shore, just out of sight


                                                         ……. The safe shore

                                                                                     Just

                                                                                              Out

                                                                                                         of
                                                                                                                                      
                                                                                                                                      
                                  
                                                                                                                      sight

Morrison "flamed out" way too early, Jimbo. Too bac he never reached a safe shore. Enjoyed your poem -- reminded me of one of music's greatest singers. Thank you. Love, Carolyn
