Singing a Johnny Cash locus song for me!A Poem by Mark HeathcoteA ganging ocean washed over me When I was young, I was already old When I loved, it was a careless love That washed over me.
Yes, it was a ganging mountain range That stood and stamped around me So I grownup hard and estranged And my heart I short shrift upon the wind Like a rank mouldy dank potpourri. And my soul with the emptiness of a shell I assigned A cry and oh how I cried… Until my own ganging oceans ran dry.
But the deserts I took rest bite in They were all too cold even for me To sojourn in, so, I walked as a wry vagrant And followed the eastern sun in the sky Way up high until again a storm unfolded And a ganging ocean washed over me Singing a Johnny Cash locus song for me!
Oh a ganging ocean washed over me When I was young, I was already old When I loved, it was a careless love That washed over me.
Yet it was that baptism fire that made me And made that Johnny Cash locus sing for me So don’t weep don’t feel sorry for me Because like the mountain waves that are born To swallow, me under there waves with you. To the sound of a Johnny Cash locus song You know it won’t be long till that tide turns around And then there’ll be no more reason to feel drown.
Oh a ganging ocean washed over me When I was young, I was already old When I loved, it was a careless love That washed over me But now I am free… But now I am free… But now I am free… © 2013 Mark Heathcote |

My muse almost demands it of me. So you may find quite a few being poured out from time to time. I all so write man.. more..Writing
