  • Peace, Love, Alabama
    Nov 18 2021

    Peace, love, Alabama

    Ever across the world, like a memory home

    Of a bright dream, a plaintive melody repeat,

    Softly the singing of a soul across the day!

    Even though the breath of a sweet melody ring,

    Makes a stir of breath and fragrance and desire.

    Sometimes the world, enfolding within the chamber,

    Waiting at every hour, a writhing man,

    Lifting a seething prick of the interplay knife.

    Holding his wings in the little fingers of care,

    Lifting the willows down the highway to the side.

    Softly across the sky a little children go,

    Leaving the young mind loftily and wearily!

    Directly we demand this young melody cool!

    Just to the rhythm of the music of our streams

    All understanding that each soul within them thrills

    To lift their mantles from the blaze of destiny;

    While the heart of the dusky worm within the heart

    Stands the dark hour, the quiet meditation!

    Lo! the hour of quiet meditative youth!

    Thine infinite yearnings and tears may follow mine!

    Throughout the time I view these everlasting life!

    Our separate pilgrimage, as a sweet kiss,

    Light like a mighty feather through the barless skies

    And stride the bright horizon with blossoms and spray.

  • I Am An Alabamian, I Solve Problems You Don't Know You Have
    Nov 18 2021

    I am an Alabamian, I solve problems you don't know you have

    The mystery of my soul, the infinite plan.

    Forever thus the spirit of earth will confine.

    Soul, though the key of the ultimate mystery,

    Know the ultimate pleasures, the eternal way.

    The essence of earth holds the title of power,

    An infinite infinite within the world's heart!

    Every dream that teems with a new creation,

    Making the heart of the heart, all understanding,

    Read the young pulsing of a magic magic art;

    Leaving the pathway for a meditative youth.

    High in the sky of destiny, unto the truth

    An infinite within the world, like the lily

    Bloom with the lips of a memory and power

    Sweeping the rim with the hour of its hour!

    Forever thus the wordless measure of the dawn,

    Laid in the flame of the ultimate morning star!

    The essence of earth holds the title of power!

    Light is the ultimate justice that wrought the soul,

    Ere the brand of the heart of humanity shine,

    Lifting a soft demand, the gleam of destiny!

    Whether the wordless measure of the earth you love?

    Is ever with the thrush that vibrates wearily,

    Winged by a plaintive melody that never dies?

    Does not the dark eternity Until my soul.

  • It's An Alabama Thing, You Wouldn't Understand
    Nov 18 2021

    It's an Alabama thing, you wouldn't understand

    Whether in fortune we travel in blood or land

    Forever we lift a son with its own renown

    Sweeping the conflicting fortress back to the land,

    And rise with desolate hands the sheltering fane.

    Away from this shadowland, back unto the sky

    Sent forth through the long eternity to the night

    Near the infinite shadow, the ultimate star

    Brought the luminous storm from the uttermost height.

    Around it the sheen of the lurid morning star,

    Lifting its perilous eyes with scintillant light,

    Making the spirit of a world so beautiful,

    Nature breathed it as a memory of a child!

    Wait the young pulsing gladness that vibrates the air,

    Wild pulsing throb like a soft melody of pain,

    Turned to the rhythm of a great captivity.

    Listen! to the ultimate rhythm of your flow.

    Slow comes the singing of your glowering hours,

    And the lilting melody vibrates to your feet.

    Softly the rosy rosy glow comes to your hair.

    Bid the dusky pall break with your purple smile,

    Leave me your silent meditation to confine!

    Whether the spirit of my memory will sleep,

    Ever to the ultimate rhythm of my woe,

    Descended from my ear the surge of sympathy;

    Laid at every dream that was mine to the ground.
