Blue Sky Lightning
(For Elaine)
Her name
sounds like a
wildflower
Her voice is a rock and
roll song
She's rare as blue sky
lightning
There are no lies in
her ocean
She's determined
as the rocky mountain
rising sun
She's towed the heavy
Cinderella line
Blazed trails
across inner city
swamps
and wandered the high
country
where only heroes
and angels dare to
tread
She's in the smile
on the faces of her
children
She's the hope in their
dreams
She drives the long
desert road
in an old Ford
hatchback
with Def Leppard on the
radio
and an old dog and me
by her side
Nothing is impossible
in her try
No one ever forgets her
face
She's blue sky
lightning
with an endless summer
in her shine
