Keep The Almighty Peace (Rev.) Poem by Margaret Alice

23 October 2008

crying my way through “Legend of
a Band” by The Moody Blues, started
with “Your Wildest Dreams” calming
with “Nights In White Satin” just
to inflame with “Tuesday Afternoon”

So simple, so eloquent, so beautiful
then ”Steppin’ in a Slide Zone” – I’m
still deeply affected by “Wildest Dreams”
difficult to concentrate - then “Question”
“it’s not the way that you say it –

It’s more the way that you mean it…”; “I’m
looking for America in my life…” haunting
melodies replaying in my mind; followed by
“No More Lies” – crying again –

“I need you like you need me, truly and
completely – come right out and tell me
just what’s in your heart” –I’m sobbing it
out – I can’t tell you because

You never want to listen… no more lies” – more
ways to lie present itself all the time – just keep
the Almighty Peace… until stopping with
“I Know You’re Out There Somewhere...”
