Jerry Garcia: the Dove, the Hawk and Blue Dragonfly
|
There's one more engine moving
'cross railroad skies tonight,
An August icon, the full moon rose
in the Dark-ness, Star-like-ness
to Jerry's memory and delight.
All Deadheads did cry, to find
Dante's Omnibus had arrived
at the station, to claim
his soul forever, into the Hall of Fame.
The grey horizons of his eyes:
the dove, the hawk and blue dragonfly,
never told us any lies, they were, simply
a window tribute to his demise.
Humbly he played, for any generation
to hear; alive or Dead, great or small.
His guitar pickin' tunes were offerings of
Grateful dreams and Roses to us all.
