MIDNIGHT RIDER ---Major revision New poem

Midnight Rider   Midnight rider

Wait for me
 Fly me places I’d never be
 Let me soar higher

Still

Through

Diamonds midnight blue
 Fill

My soul with dreams
 Midnight Rider

Please

Don't let this night end

Until

You take me home again




MIDNIGHT RIDER is a metaphor for me or eupemism. Can you guess?

P.S.

J.B. Longo-Geremia I am having quite a bit of trouble with the technology on this site, especially spacing. I already find it difficult to type due to atrophy of muscles on right side. It becomes frustratng when the techncal aspects don't "co-operate." :) joe

Midnight rider poem

Longo,I like the way the poem drifts along, short and sweet. Years ago I was building a 1948 Ford hot rod, I was to call it Midnight Rider after the Allman Bros song (ain't gonna let the catch the Midnight Rider) Then there was the crystal blue pyramids,.. Your particular Midnight Rider is a mystery.....Meds? wcw
