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
