Feu Follet Down in the old South, deep in the bayou,Old banyan trees rustle in the dank air.Stars of Aquarius come into view,Strange voices whisper their tales of despair.

Ten thousand spirits strayed, adrift,Cast out by societal rift.Bound by vision to make things right…Rogue specters in the autumn night. They mount their saddles, carry onTo promises of blooming dawn.Sailing on sunbeams,Continue reading “Rogue Specters”
