EAST EARLY MORNING
written by Dan Blakeslee

A curious breeze, finds this East early morning.

Cleverness hides, the unfamiliar wind.

The weatherman warns, a small craft advisory.

Sea Captain haul in your nets, bring all hands ashore.

Oh Sea Captain, bring all hands ashore.



From a watchtower, sitting high above the valley.

Gathering clouds were seen, giving birth to a beast.

From deep in its mouth, came a white fire.

Around lightning’s neck, rang thunders bells.

Around lightning’s neck, rang thunders bells.



Are you frightened by the storm dear?

High winds shook the trees on Broad Street.

Bring all our golden goods to the front door.

Two of those in fur, we’ll not leave behind.



Downward it came, growing darker by the hour.

Claps and wild sirens, left an infinite drone.

With the might of an army, the old house was standing.

The spell it was cast and soon fell, to a wondrous light.



I’ll keep watch upon the eye dear.

And pray for all those dwelling in the forest.

I’ve brought our golden goods to the front door.

Two of those in fur, we’ll not leave behind.

I will watch the eye.
