Medicine Show

Late summer evening looking toward The starlit sky And feeling the droplets crawling toward the cotton surrounding a neck that lips had once touched so lightly In a moment of an eternity where now a town converges On a canvas palace at a time when faith was part of the advertisement and the heartache and pain could be vanquished by uncorking the mysteries of a planet only light years away from The acknowledgement of human error And they bought into the dream that tomorrow would bring the change that was really unnecessary and they returned to that existence which encouraged them To wait for another hot summer night when The medicine show returned.
