    I Think ‘Bout You

    Looking up the blue sky

    Cloudless and bright

    It’s time to think ‘bout you

    Could see your ev’r smiling face

    Effervescent pouting lips

    I longed to kiss

     

    Looking up the inky heavens

    Shooting stars in tears

    Homesickness overwhelms me

    It’s time to think ‘bout you

    To bring flowers home

    To amend my complicity

     

    Looking up the tree’s diadem

    So mighty and tall

    It’s time to think ‘bout you

    Could see your purile eyes

    Succor for the evergreens

    Miscreant I admit

     

    Looking at the flower garden

    Exotic in loveliness

    It’s time to think ‘bout you

    Your gentle touch, soft

    Rosebuds open up in time

    For us to embrace

     

    Looking down the river

    Long and winding

    It’s time to think ’bout you

    Could see rising tide

    Overflowing my aching heart

    To quench the thirst, pain

     

    Looking down the road

    Alone and lonely

    It’s time to think ‘bout you

    For me to go home

    To be with you

    Make love ‘til mornin’

     

    Looking everywhere

    I could see no more

    Except you and me

    It’s time to stop thinkin’

    And to dream we’re together

    Now and forever

    Yes, we get our ideas from day-dreaming. Basically being in a place where we can be creative about an idea that can come in a form of a place, person or image. Nicely delivered.

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
