Night Ballad For Jesse

It's the quiet strength when light dusts to dim
It's the pause, laden pain that's part of him
[be at peace, be at peace, be at peace]
Foggy wind blows, river flows troubled chase
Still, his eyes prove wise, gazing sagely pace

You are never alone
Burdened soul, set in stone
(Set in stone) ... to be strong
Because the river moves elusive song
Jesse ... heavy night rains cold, dark and long

Rest regret ... sleep where no nightmares can go
Let misty hours sweep rueful feelings low

May the stormy shore's ballad heft and break
To Paradise, to home, crystal foam wake
[be at peace, be at peace, be at peace]
May the crisp morning calm the moody night
Lift weight from your shoulders with floating light

Rest regret ... sleep where no nightmares can go
Let misty hours sweep rueful feelings low

You are never alone
Burdened soul, set in stone
(Set in stone) ... to be strong
Because the river moves elusive song
Jesse ... heavy night rains cold, dark and long

~ For/About: Jesse Stone
Several members of my family and myself enjoy a series of movies
Based on detective novels written by Robert B. Parker [1932 - 2010].
I really like the lead character (Jesse Stone & find him interesting),
And the other characters in the small town of Paradise, Massachusetts.
[Love the rainy, foggy atmosphere of the scenery also]
Movie (series) actors include: Tom Selleck, Viola Davis, Kathy Baker,
Kohl Sudduth, Stephen McHattie, Saul Rubinek, William Devane,
William Sadler & Joe the dog.
