When The Spirits Whisper

 

I suppose most people

Have done it

And then

Wondered why,

Climbed up near the

Top and said,

What the hell am

I doing this for?

I remember the

Old Metis and Cree

I knew as a kid,

They would say

When it’s time for

Music,

It’s time for music,

They’d tip over a

Five gallon pail

For a chair,

Grab a sawhorse,

A stump or

Whatever was there,

And play wild

Wonderful music,

People spend too much

Time doing what

They weren’t meant to

They’d smile,

When the spirits

Whisper in your ear,

Play boy, play,

The grass won’t

Run away,

You can cut it

Tomorrow.
