Rose Hill
by Kitty Boots
guitars riot
southern songbirds
entombed
rain streaks grave stones
rivulets stifle young grass
on the well-trodden path
angels and lambs
drunkards and whores
the detritus of a thousand dreams
sweet, jazzy riffs play with the wind
a crescendo to die for
all in memory of Elizabeth Reed

Cemeteries fascinate me...I took an imaginary trip through Rose Hill. Thank you Duane Allman and Dickey Betts.

A strong, strong piece, Susan, springing from a flawless tune - and the spirts hovering all around.
My favorite version of the song is from Live at Fillmore East.
