John Jay Anthony Licata ~ Poet, Artist, Sculptor ~ Troubadour ~ 12th Generation Yankee Son

Before morning sun

Last dream from the faraway

She turns warm thoughts sweet

The 1960's

The 1960's was the last great decade in America - with Perhaps the period of 1965, through the middle Seventies, as the most creative and altruistic.

Since then it has been a bitter-sweet, slip-slide ride, Farther away and more distant each day, from the Resplendent vision and promise that America once Held:

In the sanctum of her heart,
In the soul of her lands,
And in the currency
Of her mighty rivers.

Perhaps a great renaissance will beckcon and the Clarion calls of our newer generations, will found a Florence in their mind's eye, a passion in their breast, And a new found joy in the tenor and tempo of their Lives...
