A Legend In His Time (July Contest )
As if in a dream
I sat and stared
listening with deep intent
I knew all the words to every song
and found myself singing along
A fan I was for too long to remember
I could hardly believe my fate
but here I sat as a birthday gift
mesmirized by every move
chords that rang out from his guitar
and beheld the legend Gordon Lightfoot

Hi, Chrys,
What a gentle, captivating poem - just like his music. It feels like you were in a trance almost, you enjoyed and appreciated every moment. I think of him also as a poet, and get a feeling of inner calm when reading this.
Thank you!
