Sailing "Layla"

From Here To Nowhere

Night falls
words echo
bounce from here
to nowhere…
and
I wonder
who will
save me now
when all that I have
are memories
and
the slightest
glimmer
off in the distance
of hope
with all the promise
that yesterday
once held
for tomorrow.
Will there
come a time
when all else fails
the wisdom of age
will take hold
and
comfort a soul
that only wanted
to share
the secrets
of true love?
My heart
skips a beat
off center
with the ache
of smooth blues
a 13 bar riff
that only fits
when the timing
is off…
