Searchers

A drive through the open desert Route 66 Into the horizon 1964 Buick Electra 225 Sixty-nine miles per hour Top down You  With your shades on Head back Taking in the twilight Scarlet hue A crimson glow As if heaven were ablaze From a battle between the gods The Lizard King Is singing to us "Waiting for the Sun" Ahead Parked beside the road Is a blue bus Deserted by occupants Footprints into the sand Pants and shoes Along the trail A cactus stands five feet or so Just above the crest Bras and panties Hanging from it Like ornaments Naked children Crossing the threshold Into the kingdom Of Morrison  In search of the Electric Shaman Who died in 1974 Or did he? Should I wake you From your dream To see The oasis Beyond Or dismiss this as a mirage?  Oasis

Additional Notes:
Jim Morrison of The Doors said "real poetry doesn't say anything, it just ticks off the possibilities... opens all doors you can walk through any one that suits you. If my poetry aims to achieve anything, it's to deliver people from the limited ways in which they see and feel" Punctuation was intentional.
