Blue Guitar
(From the album “MILES FROM OUR HOME”)

I wish I had a blue guitar,
A blue guitar to play all night long.
Singing songs of loss and love.
Singing songs till morning comes.

Ghosts in the basement
Screams from the kitchen
I tell you folks I’m leaving.
Seems I can already hear the door slammin’.
I tell you folks I think I’m leavin’.

Goodbye to the highway
Goodbye to the sky
I’m headed out goodbye, goodbye.
Goodbye to the highway
Goodbye to the sky
I’m headed our goodbye, goodbye.

I wish I had a blue guitar,
A blue guitar to play all night long.
I wish I had a blue guitar,
A blue guitar to let you know somehow
You are not needed now.

later,

Is the poem about, as Ghandi said, "being the change we wish to see in the world?" Or is it about letting the world change us as we interact with it? Or simply about how we see the world, action or inaction irrelevant in the realm of viewing and perceiving? I don't know. To see the painting which inspired this wonderful poem, click here.
