Book Cover & Preview Text
Puzzled Geologist
The men paddled their canoe through mysterious flushing
Rolling waters
Frustrated by nature’s difficult changes
They paddled in Peachtree Creek, wide and deep
Studying the vegetation, wildlife and troubled water streams
That flooded rain brings
Existing in a mystic dream
Swift, hellish, mighty water ways challenge the geologists
Where the water floods the plain with over-flooded rain
What stands in harms way where the water shed lay?
Can the rapid, tumbling, troubled water tell
The sounds that mad waterfalls spell?
Beneath the debris
Bridges of the water way
Souls of soldiers linger, running out through sad waves
Tells of secrets share
In life the sacrificed miseries
Do not forget the Civil War, picture the scene
While paddling geologists searching the stream
In Peachtree Creek
Golden Grass
Can you measure the amount of shed blood on
The golden grass of the battlefield?
The golden grass transparent in pain
In the remains of the Confederate cavalries
Shows still while they ride the tired horses
Back to back
Remembering the Civil War
Do you wonder why the pine trees still cry?
The smell of gun smoke filled the nose
The measurement of bloodshed no one knows
On the golden grass
Where the quiet wind still blows
Remember
Remember the famous Peachtree Creek
Stand on the creaky hills and peak
You will see the lonely stream flow
Carry its secrets of indignation
Known throughout the nation
Swelling mad spiritual floods
