Poem Commentary

Old memory that began, but sadly didn't come true.

East Brainerd Road

I didn't know where i was going,
but it was early Sunday morning,
and the Easter Sunday service,
had just begun.
 
They were standing in the field;
searching for the risen Savior,
 hands all clasped together, 
down East Brainerd Rd.

As I stepped out of my car,
I was taken by the hand,
by the softest brown eyed angel,
with a heart of shining gold.

She led me to the circle,
with are hands still joined together ,
there I found my true salvation ,
down East Brainerd Rd.

At a little Baptist Church,
in a town without a name,
a half a mile from Alabama Street,
all dressed in white.

They were standing in ailses,
as I took my angels hand;
they all shouted halleluja,
down East Brainerd Rd.

Every day I work our field,
plowing in a straight line,
because there only direction
for our lives to grow.

I'm standing in our field,
 with the kids all in a circle,
hands all joined together ,
Down East Brainerd.

Heading east out of Chattanooga, take a right. It ends out there somewhere.

Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
