Poem Commentary

Old memory that began, but sadly didn't come true.

East Brainerd Road

I didn't know where i was going,
but it was early Sunday morning,
and the Easter Sunday service,
had just begun.
 
They were standing in the field;
searching for the risen Savior,
 hands all clasped together, 
down East Brainerd Rd.

As I stepped out of my car,
I was taken by the hand,
by the softest brown eyed angel,
with a heart of shining gold.

She led me to the circle,
with are hands still joined together ,
there I found my true salvation ,
down East Brainerd Rd.

At a little Baptist Church,
in a town without a name,
a half a mile from Alabama Street,
all dressed in white.

They were standing in ailses,
as I took my angels hand;
they all shouted halleluja,
down East Brainerd Rd.

Every day I work our field,
plowing in a straight line,
because there only direction
for our lives to grow.

I'm standing in our field,
 with the kids all in a circle,
hands all joined together ,
Down East Brainerd.

Heading east out of Chattanooga, take a right. It ends out there somewhere.

Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
