Pockets of Dreams

Pockets of Dreams Empty pockets filled of hopes and dreams Yearning to feel the touch of moneys many men Wishing to taste salts of audacious seas Wetting of aroused dreams and curiosities Pondering a poor man’s hope Knowing a blessing awaits miles away Tired of freeloading lint and vacant wishes Yet trying stay strong, Naively believing there’s magic left on the banks of Mississippi’s delta Believing there’s magic left in me I promised my pockets they will be filled and they will

Hard times write here, James !! When was there magic on the delta? When the gambling boats were running? Don't know much about Mississippi except for a town I was detoured to one time called Tallelujah (or was that in Alabama?) ... anyway it was all heartbreaking when I went through ...
