Tides move in swiftly
when the moon has to let us know
how powerful she is
and her phosphercsecent glow
Howling songs in the distance
like southern cicadas do
asking her to forgive us
holding hands next to you
I was born down south
I was raised by the heat
Cornbread in my mouth
I crave a country beat
When I go to the river
And the levy breaks
Don’t blame me
for all the mess we create
Southern cicadas
you sing lullabies
Like Mother Nature
You overwhelm the skies
But in the morning
And three cups of coffee
The only rhythm is my heart beating trepidatiously
