Morning in Holly Springs

Leaving Christ Church last night after a good session at piano, I took this picture with my cell phone. It doesn't approach an accurate rendering of the colors, but some of the mood is conveyed. It's funny how a sunset picture harmonizes with my new song about dawn in Holly Springs.


Up all night
And I found myself
Morning in Holly Springs
A lacy sleeve
at the edge of a velvet night
Morning in Holly Springs
A crazy early morning bird is singing with me
Harmony the Secret on the breeze at dawn
first light
naked autumn trees
Morning in Holly Springs

Took all night
but I found this song
Morning in Holly Springs
a sweet reprieve
in the dark alone
Morning in Holly Springs
Sleepy little town
snug in dream around me
Fragile first light
naked trees
Morning in Holly Springs.
