MISSISSIPPI FLAME
music from the flame
a candle in my mind
right near Capitol Street
where the Company lit the light
a ray is transcending all material
an idea, a feeling will convey
a reason, exceeding all that I know
in the dream, where it goes
I am tied to the door
of a house caught on fire
and like back in the day
I’m gazing at the flame
a ray is transcending all material
an idea, a feeling will convey
a reason, exceeding all that I know
in the dream, where it goes
like a moth to the flame
