Blind man's bluff braille
notes of a thousand pictures
keen lipped DNA

Stevie is no aberration
Many spoiled forty-year-old men
Now live in mama’s basement
Playing video games all night
Sleeping all day while mama does their laundry
And makes their meals...

Great guitarists talents last a whole life long
But that's not sufficient to describe Stevie Ray Vaughan
In my estimation
No other generation
Produced such a talented guitarist, too early he's gone...

   Blindness never stopped legendary musician, Stevie Wonder;
     Made his presence felt in the 70's like rumbling thunder
    Recorded hit song "Isn't she lovely?" about baby daughter.
        His half-a-century or so career couldn't be any hotter.

Heard this song over a 1000 times

But for the first time 
I just actually listened to the Lyrics

Of Stevie Wonder's 

Superstition

And paraphrasing 
it goes a little something like this

If you believe in things you don't understand

You Will Suffer 

?????????????...

Eric never asked a question,
  Stevie couldn’t answer

As hearts aspire, their stage on fire,
  the Garden’s roof asunder

One lick and then another,
  with Clapton our new mother

As Winwood melts a father’s keys,
 —to hell with heaven’s thunder

(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2017)...

“Stevie” 

“Stevie” II is my son-in-law.
Totally committed to his family.
Exceptionally brave award-winning fireman.
Very successfully, “Stevie” II hunts and fishes.
Industriously plans and lives his life.
Endlessly strives toward his goals.

Memory has got deeper, 
lake deep. 

There’s a person yoyoing around in the water – 
it’s a younger image of me.

I’m standing on the shore
trying to get his attention.

He rises to the surface:
"What you doing old guy"? He asks.


'I’m trying to save you'!

He smirks, swimming on serenely 
toward this moment....

Your everything is so easy to take
Straight ruthless & never fake
Try to throw down a fierce fight
Stole your innocence-
             it faded with the night
Unaware of what I can really do
Jaded sadly without a clue
Risk everything you could ever want
Chance it all on a flaunt
All wanders seem to get lost
I can turn you out at any cost
~Stevie McLain...

glorifying days gone by
meanwhile wasting time
i’ve got nothing more than an alibi
to make sense of this paradigm

i’m betting on a future paradise
where starry moonlit nights entice
and sunshine saves the day
while guileless children play

Playing with the keys of life,
in spirit to the soul.
Your Jesus Children's story
will never grow old.

Grace to the world,
your musical gifts.
A miracle anointing
from blind eyes and sweet lips.

Thanks for the gems
so, pleasing to enjoy.
"My Cherie Amour"
Talented young boy!

The rhythm, the flow,
poetic verses true.
The Wonder of wonders,
Dear Stevie, that's you.

A Stevie Winwood song,
A hit for his band "Traffic"
And it really says so much
For those of us staring at these "empty pages"...
How insightful musical geniuses can be
Yet how often they derail their own lives
With drugs, and other wanton abandonment

I salute Winwood for apparently bucking that trend
I await the day ahead,
Where I find ink,
To fill my pen,
And add substance...
To the empty pages
Of my life....

You know when someone says I love you 'As' the sun? ~ it means that you're always loved—poetess "As" by Stevie Wonder


I Choose Love
I believe in a true Love so true and real  
By embracing all and then Love always 
If we change words into truth then
Into  Love  so that maybe 
Our children and grand
Children and their 
Grand children
Tell that I'll
be Lovin 
You

Stevie told the truth because he was four
He did not know anything of deception or lies
His sister Monique was embarrassed,
she had said something mean about her friend
which Stevie had innocently repeated
Monique called Stevie a liar, and punished him
In front of her friend, retaining a friendship
But losing her little brother’s trust forever
Showing Stevie what lack of integrity looks like
His first taste of unkindness and unfairness...

Please let mommy in honey.
Pirate kings do not have mommies.
Stevie is silent.
Feeling all powerful.
Stevie, this is Daddy!
Can you open the door, Son?

Captain Steve knows nothing about a door.
He is in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
Facing a wall of waves.
His mean are petrified with terror.
Steve is the bravest of the pirate kings.
He slashes his sword in the air four times.
To warn the sea creatures.
No one is taking this ship....

ALL THESE LIES GOT ME PISSED
LETS GET A BLOOD TEST I INSIST...

Do you enjoy it when you 
shake & quiver
 Feel the tingling itch & chilling shiver
 Twist & twirl inside your ever wandering mind
 The Lost- never truly let you find
 Embrace your tainted ride
 I know the secret you try to hide
 Sanity, hypnotized in the way
 Do you feel the temptation to come out & play
 Venture past the pitch of black's night
 Soo anxious to find you in my sight
 Can you willingly take control
 Entrapment takes it's rapid toll
~Stevie McLain...

When he was 13 and I was 12,
he sang “Clap your hands
just a little bit louder,”
and I followed his playful commands.

We out there in TV land thrilled to the sound
of his superb, inimitable harmonica playing
on the wildly popular “Ed Sullivan Show.”
Stevie had us gyrating and swaying.

At the time, I didn’t know “Fingertips”
was a Billboard number 1 hit
or that Little Stevie had been deemed a child prodigy.
I just knew his music made me move; I couldn’t sit!

Have A Talk With God - Song by Stevie Wonder,1976
--------------------------------------
He won't let you down
with that in mind go talk Him
He will ease your pain

don't wait for right time
at the end of day talk Him
you will love Him more

He can see you through
fear, fatigue and frustration
He waits to talk too

He is all ears, talk
He won't let your breath go waste
count on Him, talk heart

Before you shed tears
in pain or sorrow, whisper
to Him, He takes care...
