High on the mountain,
I’m all alone,
Sittin’ by the river,
Water splashin’ on the stones;
As mornin’ fills the valley
Where before, the night was hung,
I wake up from the wine
But the pines block-out the sun

And the rain ain’t pleasin’,
And the cold is on the ground,
And strung-out on the byways
All the highwaymen stand round;
And above the crooked timber,
All the whippoorwills fly blue,
And they sing a song so lonesome,
Can’t you hear it comin’ thru?

Or did you decide
That you’ve gone deaf and blind
And I’ve been on the job so long
Who knows if I’ll survive, you just sigh,
As I wonder why I keep on
Tryin’ to get to you;
it’s no use…

There at your window,
Leanin’ on the ledge,
Y’got ‘em tryin’ to beat the blade
With a nine-pound sledge;
Y’got ‘em workin’ on a building,
Ev’ry carpenter in town;
Well if I had it my way
I would tear that building down

But it won’t get done
All I could ever win’s been won;
And I’ve been on the job so long
Who knows if I’ll survive, you won’t cry,
But will you try, if I die
While tryin’ to get to you, to
Bury Me in Georgia
Next to you

After all that I’ve been had
You’d think that I’d go mad,
But my anticipation
Outweighs my lack of patience;
‘Cause I’ve been on the job so long
Who knows if I’ll survive, so
Bury Me in Georgia
Next to you

Come walk along the cliffs of uncertainty
While you search for something delightfully new
There wrapped in an air of wondrous mystery you will find
Where your imagination can take you too

Softly cling to the shadows of infinity
Tenuously locked away in an unpredictable hue
Lost forever in a world that you can create
As you wander away with the moon

Radiantly shining like a bead of clear water
Such as a taste of the morning’s first dew
You can come away to this world and discover
How you can become a part of this too

Multi-colored butterflies will be dancing in the forest
Where the whippoorwills sing to the trees
In voices that light up the air so sweet
Like golden honey stolen from the hives of bees
  
Here the untamed sea can be seen forever
Stretching endlessly across it seems
And you can ride the crashing waves of ivory foam
While gliding on a current of dreams

The winds incessant voice will ring right through you
Whispering of the magical things to be seen
When you come away to this fair land of Eden
One must be prepared for most anything

All the beauty belongs to you
and all the makings
of the whole universe
your eyes hold true beauty
I have ever seen
starting with your love for all of us
you given Life to dust of a living
The sun that glint in heavens
that beams down on the world
of your love sent for us
I've seen the seven wonders
of the world
the seas that hold many dreams
nothing like this I have ever seen
The love you hold for me
in my own heart
makes me hold on even longer
when life gets too much for me
to bear in a world that isn't fair
In the light of day
you shine your words of hope
in my eyes that shines so bright
you are the candle
that burns deep into a nasty storm
I've seen the beauty of diamonds and pearls
But they hold nothing to you
the love you give me
had put my spirit on easy
Your love amazing this anyone could see
every enchanted hours
you given me a dance in rain showers
the years is like a new page
holding words of ancient times
that burns down into my soul
words of long ago
lets me see what it is you hold
The sun shall glint its gold
far upon on the seas
upon the land where we all stand
birds will fly on high
deep into the big blue sky
on green valley's will stand the lilies
the Mediterranean Sea
is comfortable with the rushing winds
the waves will move along
like an old ancient song
that plays on
the love of the rain
showers the land in spring
cloudy days of winter
will see the rainbow of colors
the moon gives out its love
to the sea to shines its light
for the ships to sail
so beautifully  
I've seen a sunset
that make me cry
the beauty has touched my eyes
your love touches the sky
all the colors of a rainbow reaching '
across the Sea so beautifully
the breeze of the misty wind
blowing the leaves of autumn
  in all phases of Life
shines a star from far
deep into humans hearts
Your love amazes me
in all my waking hours
My heart shall thrill at break off Dawn
to the meadow larks
at dusk to whippoorwills shades over
me like a dream
I could never doubt your love
I hold your beauty in my eyes
You give me hope,
you give me reason in all seasons
you  given me a love I can believe in
forever faithfully I am yours
your love amazes me
I've prayed for miracles
that never came in darken dreams
I got down on my knees
in the pouring rain
asking in faith for your Light to shine
in my darkest hours
you are my highest tower
you are the candle in my window
that shines deep into my eyes
Your true love had always be with me
even in darken dreams  .
  
Poetic Lilly Judy Emery (C)

Sleepless night
Insomniatic overlay
Dressed
Coffee in hand
Outside... Listening
As nature announces
The arrival
Of a brand new day
The night birds clear shrill
Accentuating
The whippoorwills petal soft coo
Tree frogs keeping rhythm
While the skyline
Gently eases down
The blackness
With the gentlest of pastel blue
From far far away
Comes the hoarse throated honking
Of a quickly approaching goose
Announcing it was coming through
No mistaken.
I did believe
The Happy song they are always making
Until that moment
As daylight broke the night
With the sudden crack of dawn
To my surprise this traveling troubadour
Singing as it went winging by
Turning out to be a swan
Meting out a greeting
Hello Hello Hello
Continuing to fly
While off in the waning distance
Fading with a sad persistence
Diminishing
The swan song ...finishing
With a distant cry
goodbye... goodbye.... goodbye

I would give to you my smile
that sauntered look and walk
A long mellow daydreamed breeze
that cute look each time we talk

I would give to you the sunshine
a kind windy sun flowered field
Hopes to fill your hearts desire
with any dream your mind could wield

I would give to you the warm rain
sweet songs the whippoorwills sing
The eternal stars of the night
for you I would give everything
