SAVANNA IDYL<\/p>\n
They say when you\u2019ve got
\nsomething beautiful inside you,
\nyou should display it,
\nand I suppose that\u2019s why Savannah
\nopens its doors
\nwith the hospitality of the south.
\nBut there\u2019s a shyness in our hearts
\nborn of fire,
\na distance in eyes that could see well
\nbut have high clouds in them now,
\ntrying to remember a face.<\/p>\n
I say to myself,
\nnow wake up, girl,
\ndon\u2019t want you looking like that,
\nand she smiles warm and amber.
\nThat\u2019s the south.
\nPeople don\u2019t turn old here,
\nthey wear pearls,
\nand don\u2019t retire their manners.
\nMaybe that\u2019s why people come.
\nThey call it climate for an excuse.
\nI kind of call it love,
\nsomething that\u2019s shared from a garden.
\nVoices that are soft rather than shrill,
\nand a heartfelt respect for others.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
