Old Blue Chair

Old Blue Chair

A Poem by Healing Star
"

Inspired by Kenny Chesney's song by the same name, about a chair on a beach, I have seen exactly where his house was where he watched boats sail in and out of Cinnamon Bay, St John, USVI.

"

Have you seen my old blue chair?

You know I've had some Laughs
And there have been days that I Cried
But there have been days when the Sky was so Big
Days when I got to the water and set up my Rig

Laying out on Honey Moon Beach at 10 in the Mornin'
Not another soul to Compete
And I walk the shoreline for several Hours
I got back and knew, I was Complete

Walking the trails through the jungle Wood
Wondering what we might find Ahead
And at the end of the day there was more Understood
Then I softly climbed into your Bed

It might be pretty on that shoreline Girl
But I just don't wanna go anywhere Today
You know you got my Heart in Whirl
I'd just like to stay here with you and Play

And in the warm evening with a breeze
Strolling down the beach with shadows Stretched
We will slip quietly into the Sea
No one to tell us no, and no, there is no Catch

When we climb in that boat to Sail
And the wind comes up and takes us on the Swell
The Island will always bring me back without Fail
We can still be kids riding a squall, saying what the Hell

On a quiet afternoon we will pack a Lunch
Don't forget a little wine, to go with that sweet Sunshine 
We will lay on the beach and we'll hug a Bunch
We will have a snack and a few sips 'til we're feeling Fine

You know I've had some Laughs
And there have been days that I Cried
But there have been days when the Sky was so Big
Days when I got to the water and set up my Rig

You know I've looked at life from many Ways
But when I'm there with those waves Rollin' In
When I look at it from there, wishing the moment Stays
Together laughing in the Sun, it always brings a Grin

Have you seen my old blue Chair?
