Between the times between the rhymes, the beat of life goes on,
though sometimes stumbling through the dark, before the night is gone,
although at times it can be dazzled by the rising of the dawn
it erases every shadowed dream before life’s poem is born,
after the sun has darned the clouds with shining golden charm
it goes on soft and silky wanderings over the meadow’s calm,
where tired poems are butterflies that need warmed by the sun
so that their sweet ballets of wonderment rise as the world is spun.
Between the moments life grows tired before they turn to hours
there is a whispering softness through the mornings gentle showers,
although the world has many troubles with its flooding and its pain
the thought that makes us get back up to rise and rise again
is that deep down cradled in our soul we have to carry on
until earth’s ailments are all cured and its idiots are gone,
then the butterflies will rise once more like rainbows wrapped in love
and we can rest within our gardens, when life’s push comes to shove.
My poetry will rewrite the world in rhythmical repose
for the medicine it needs, a poem knows just the perfect dose
and everyone that feels the world’s weight will feel it lift again
No more the fear of warfare, and no more the aches of pain,
Just birdsong in the treetops and as painful memories die
There will be smiles and hello’s, but never more goodbye,
For all in all love is my God, and evil I disdain
For I live life in my own calm way, without need to explain…
