Early Morning Engine Roaring
I wrote this 12 years ago
Early morning
Engine roaring
Though soon I will be mourning
Wake up screaming
Somber pleading
Then I know it's just a dream
No harm will come it truly seems
Though I was only dreaming
//
Summers here the days are bright
No worry in the world of the dreaming
The sun is beaming
And then comes night
As my heart begins to pace
I try and look clear out to space
Rejecting dreams they are no matter
At least it seems that summer night
//
Fourth of July
Falls on summers radiant eye
Out with my mom early that morning
Nothing prepared me for her mourning
Her heart seems to fall as she listen to the voice
Her oldest son now faces the consequences of his choice
She rushes off so scared and deep in thought
Though the hardships soon to be faced I know of not.
//
Early morning
Engine roaring
My brother falls asleep
And the ravine he faces is so steep
Wakes up flying
Three girls crying
Sixty-five feet through the air
Is sure to be more than just a scare
//
Sirens wail
Life flight sails
All are saved
No bodies stayed
Intensive care saves all lives
Though ankle and back face horrible demise
Though I thought it was just a dream
Harm did come it truly seems
