A Salute To Former Singer Of The Doors,
James Douglas Morrison )


Awake..,
Is everybody in ?
The ceremony is about to begin...
Like a dog without a bone..,


Within this life there remains a lot of pain..,

Just wanted to share.,
We filed slowly into the auditorium,
"What hurts you the most ?"

Never once Jim did I ever think you were insane..,

All you wanted to do was just to get away with Pam to Paris ?
Alive she cried.,
I can see this,
To visualize it in my minds eye !
Nor Apollo idol's eye !

Although the charismatic poet had cried,

You had stripped away the cosmic aura..,
To find it's deeper hidden meaning.. ?
At the point of it's center most core !
We really needed to ask the late lizard king.. ?

We will forever reflect upon what we truly had missed..,

In Amsterdam he had made many stops..,
Try a little of this,
Perhaps a hit of that ?
Both dodging The Doors as well as the cops,

The women would often swoon in order to gain a glimpse..,

Just like Elvis did when he would move both of his hips !
Yet with no given quiver on his lips..,
For him their was no need for the use of Viagra ?
Always splurged on lobster !

With this guy,
Never settle for a ham on rye..,
Then the guitarist Robbie Krieger got that black eye ?
The blue bus was calling Jim home !

She dances on a ring of fire,
Yet throws off a challenge with a shrug !

Raymond Daniel Manzerek, John Densmore and Jim Morrison !
With guitarist Robbie Krieger..,
Let's trip to the desert..,
Let's swim to the moon !

On a spiritual quest,
An American Prayer 4..,
Having an aura of some hypnotic super frenzy !
Rest in peace Jim !

Forever in heaven along with Pam !

You finally broke on threw to the other side..,
Now we could only visit you along grave side ?
Awake ! To seize the day..,
There lieth in the distance,

For us an enchanting opened door !
Fly away Mr. Mojo Risin to that distant shore...
