Deep In the southeastern wilds
There's a wind that blows
straight off the gulf
Live oaks stand broad and
salt- weathered
Pines wave, swaying,
taller than most
Smack dab in the longleaf
heart of savanna
Is known as the perfect home
Hear a buzz
where these coastal winds anchor
Taste a taste in the air
Less salty than sweeter
Dancing from grass to flower
Sun soaks into pearly wings
A voice sings confident
yet tender
Strumming
on the musical breeze
Deep in the Longleaf
heart of savanna
There's vibration of strings
Onlookers often
soften their gaze
Believing in hope, fondly recalling
All the most delicious of days
Love's greatest, like the stars falling
Let the world spin on with its noise
Not knowing this origin of sticky
The savanna honey it enjoys
And is savored
by even the most picky
