Stevie

In those early days
That innocence shone
Like A child’s aura
It shone down upon
You Stevie,you had that purity
And
Were so unassuming
Your Enchantment fanned
By so many people enamoured by you
From your heart that you wore
on your sleeve
Came a clue
It became an intensity
A lustre that claimed
So many people
Their hearts then inflamed
From That artist within you
Those words compelled those
Listening really to do, I do suppose
The dutiful thing
They just had to be
near to the sound
all Bewitched actually
That style all those clothes
The way that you held
Your aura apparent
Everything welled
Up in the fans they were
Lost in a way
For you were so beautiful
And more so each day

The melody ardently conjured
To bring
Sentiments, love, that so wondrous thing
Out into hearts and souls
And we saw
It strengthen and vitalise
You even more

The band were a force
And of course
Took their style
Out into the great waves
And wrestled a while
With, what was inescapable
The attraction of you
There in the spotlight
What could they do

Your eternal grace
That magical prose
Transcending through spirit
Which down the years
Grows
And reflects back
The great celebration
Of good
You unselfishly shared
Misunderstood
Sometimes you were
We all are but you
Took all that loving you had
You just knew
And turned it to song
That excited and moved
Even me
The whole throng

continually grooved

The rapture the passion
The romance you gave
All the entanglements
Favour the brave
And that’s who you were
Betrothed in a way
Clad in those dresses
That mystic display
And the tambourine
You created it all
It intrigued us
We bought into it
A wall
Of sound you created
And enthralled all the way
You were alluring
More so each day

The crispness the finery
It was all there
The beat and the method
It raised spirit where
It glittered and shone
Your humility
And it went on
On to infinity

To capture so many hearts
With the music the passion
Sweet enunciation
And such esteem
Stevie you rose like
Mist full of wonder
Surpassing all others
Ahead of the team
There in the great space
Almost ethereal
Lost in the spotlight
Diffused by it all
Bewitched and bedazzled
And kind of puzzled
Those of us watching
We answered the call

An aspiration
It came out of everywhere
Into elation
And further afield
Such solicitous longing
Were we belonging
What were we feeling
It was concealed
In the guilt and the loving
And the dreams
All apparent
The drama was evident
As our eyes met
The music enveloped
A great tidal wave
Swept over emotion
Which was a notion
Brought into our hearts
Surely to save

The great fleetwood mac
Thrust their storm
Out and yonder
Creating experiences
All could now feel
They swept into hearts
With a joy that was real
Ahead of them there in the spotlight
Was Stevie
Soft like a marshmallow bubble
In time
With a delicate aura
Going before her
Creating a ladder to the stars
All could climb

24 karat the gold of sensation
Songs from The vault
A lifetime believing
They flutter around us
Bright with emotion
The girl
With her frailty
And her devotion
