November 25, 2001 |
The shadows, they are different here,
in this city of the dark.
They seem with energy to flow
down by Cabrini Park.
Steeped with feelings ominous
the haunting does occur.
Four hundred years of history,
will restless spirits stir.
Along Dauphine and Bourbon Street,
Decatur and Rampart.
They endless through eternity
new pathways often chart.
Cemeteries don’t contain
their wanderings at night.
The Mississippi muddy still
does nurture here their flight.
The crescent moon reveals their trek
along these ancient streets.
Silently immersed in lore
of ancient pirate fleets.
And no one who does visit here
has ever been the same.
New energy commingles them
with spirits man can’t tame.
Lafite and Jackson, many more,
who marked the byways here.
Do every night at half past dusk
in New Orleans appear. | | © 2001 David Devaney |
