Another song for James Koller. Love, Bertie

Searching For Blue Sky
 
my father died an old
man coyote crow
face to the open
window sky road

we gathered around
the world together him
a lifetime of
children lovers friends

searching
for blue sky

oh joplin missouri
wind & clouds & rain
a poet died in your arms
but to you it's all the same

we're all just passing through
nomads drifters tramps
on our way to somewhere else
black coffee & maps

searching
for blue sky

set me loose on the
highways back-roads trails
let my heart
open love wail

for the days yet to
come be pass
from now until my
final closing last

searching
for blue sky

my father died an old
man coyote crow
face to the open
window sky road

beneath a mid-day sun
whiskey feathers bells
together we bade him
fare-thee-well

searching
for blue sky
