Can you escape your own intelligence,
can you cross that final line
Can you release your own magnificence,
starting over, redefined
Can you see beyond your vision,
can you wish beyond your dreams
Can you think beyond your knowing,
—can you love beyond the gleam
(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2017)
Heaven\'s Thunder
Eric never asked a question,
Stevie couldn’t answer
As hearts aspire, their stage on fire,
the Garden’s roof asunder
One lick and then another,
with Clapton our new mother
As Winwood melts a father’s keys,
—to hell with heaven’s thunder
(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2017)
