enforcing with their might

"I watched with glee
while your kings and queens
fought for ten decades
for the gods they made."

-Rolling Stones


Its simple
the universal riddle
and yet it feels such a bother
to love one another

like children in the sandlot
each guarding our own little plot
enforcing with their might
that their toys are their right

till the time comes to leave
and then its too late to believe
so this i pray
be kind this day

is still not sufficient

"but i could swear by your expression
that the pain down in your soul
was the same
as the one down in mine..."
-Hedwig & the Angry Inch


who are you gentle reader?
are you living so much sweeter
than i could ever understand?
a life truly grand

but do you still feel empty?
that your plenty
is still not sufficient?
that you are somehow deficient

who knows why the storms come
and drive us from
a path that seemed blessed
where, it seemed, we knew best

of loves sweet embrace

"...every ounce of energy you try to give a way..."
-Bob Seger

it comes freely
and be it silly
with a twinkle in its eye
or plodding bye and bye

it comes to us all
the glorious wonderous call
of loves sweet embrace
it will find us no matter the place

so give and give again
freely as you can
that which you lay down in love
will be returned three times from above

begin to add up

"going wherever it leads..."
-Tom Petty


it is a simple lie
that pierces the hide
of the soul that sustains
our spiritual membrane

our little sins
that causes little snide grins
begin to add up
tiny cracks on the cup

until our spirit drains away
and forever from that day
is gone the divine grace
leaving nothing in its place

a way to bring

"but try, try, try to understand
I'm a magic man..."
-Heart


its reaching
its spreading
the flame always burning
is slowly turning

into each mind
does love find
a way to bring
a new song to sing

and joy dances long
with a heart full of song
as faith toils on
expanding graces dominion
