Jim Morrison and the Doors (Vignette)

A poet and songster short lived with
powerful visions brought out
In lyrics styled with music
that tells of wisdom surpassing
his time of life and death 
by drugs and alcohol his escape
short life but bright spirituality
engaged his talent with rage
delivering his mind to end
Jim Morrison and the Doors

I remember his music well. Haunting his life and obsession with drugs and the 'other side'. An excellent tribute. Love, Shar

Not only do his lyrics withstand the test of time, his music does as well. He was way ahead of others who recorded in the '60s. That's why Morrison's work never seems stale. Great observation. This is going into my favorites (where The Doors also dwell). You Light my Fire! Love, Carolyn
