Poem For Change of Seasons

Poem For Change of Seasons

Today is the first day of autumn. That makes me think of a song of ours that never did get recorded or even performed in a show, but one we jammed on quite a bit. Perhaps it is a project for next year. But the words sure seem appropriate for this season AND for these times:

"You Need Love (Don't Throw Your Life Away)"

Standing so cold in your winter life

You can't make rhyme nor reason

Do you think maybe the season for Love is turning?

A yearning, a burning desire

Learning to pray with fire down upon your knees

Caring, Sharing your feelings

Daring and being all you were meant to be

You don't need hypocrisy

You don't need to silence me

You don't need your noise & news & party views surrounding you

You need Love!

You need Love! (Don't throw your life away!) 2x

Hey-ay-ee-ay-ay-ay-ee-yay!

What you call love is not at all

You rise and fall above your slavery

Do you think maybe the season for love is turning....
