"Muted Sunlight"
Muted sun at dawn
A bird chirping
Diesel engine running
Two sounds trying
Accents from hissing
Car tires and rain
Rolling by moving on
Inside the town
We walk around
Listening to sounds
Washing away the dirty
Remnants of a hurricane
Who killed a 10 yr old
In Alabama - Cindy
Lordy it was windy
In water muted sunlight
Colored bulbs on display
Inside a store window
Witness to misty rain
And outlines of hills
Clock tower in fog
Recalling he was once
A favored court jester to
The king until he died
Then he realized he
Was alone among spies
Feeling so alone and
Looking for a home
Every place he roamed
The time was so real
Nothing sugar coated
But a paid for trip
And the family seal
Securing the deal
St. Stephen on stand by
In the garden with a rose
By the muted sun he goes
7:00 a.m.
