in a world of greed
of sharply speaking, holding, using, and then disposing
climbing higher and ever higher
upon the refuse of stolen hearts
upon the stormy waters of war strewn tears
homeless ones in the cold wind unvalued they cry
wail out more or less the price inaccessibly steep
down those emaciated faces tears roll in ghostly deluges
sorrowfulness for the longing of withdrawn love
one more rung up the ladder
until you are dizzied from the heights
or perhaps ashes that settle down to the bottom of the sea
a retreat unto the last breath
what is it that truly fills the need?
while dispirited veils of vaporous clouds and shadows disappear
heavy hearts are lifted then
by exquisite and subtle beauty
when I offer this my love
sometimes beauty seems so
soaked in color
it
saturates
the sunset
sail on west submissive dusk
east becomes the night of joy
color transforms as does the light
anticipate the quiescence of empurpled skies
full of stars
that shine and give
delicate winds find a way to touch
there is no taking
only giving and receiving
moon light embodies,
closed eyes see
forever clamors within me,
in this the dark blue night
the dance of life so dulcet in view
as we greet the mornings light
all flowers and green grass wet with dew
this all given from the heart
food for thought
peace, love and harmony do not cost a single penny
