And the poets they leave nothingness
Unincredible unforsaken worlds
In blue bond grayish skies of paint
Which withers peels and disappears
A page of love a wind of pain
Pronounced of that intensified
Is it our world so lost in time
So unintended though remembered
A life a life reclusive dreams.

The pleasure of the world is peace
In hopes a smile simple thoughts
In now we choose tomorrow’s world
Though yesterday is yesterday
And every breath that’s drawn is life
When how this God hears everything
A song that rivers sing applause
Intrusive worlds so bold and free
When in this grass lies hush so calm

And evermore should fear subside
Where melancholy ladders cease
A crescent moon will light a path
For unicorns of open seas
When waves they break they crash in rage
Though ebbs a murmur’s silent heart
A tribe is lost and lives no more
The small shall sleep in magic’s breath
A quiet quiet evening’s sigh

Should the world’s fountains flow with love
Before and after time shall sleep
A hibernating morning wakes
And shields are lowered swords are sheathed
But what was war God what was war
A cruel cruel nightmare’s scream
And this is so I can’t pretend
O’ let my pen run dry in hope
O’ let there be a world at peace

At ten to four this afternoon
A humble church at rest this day
I sit alone and love cries out
When tears won’t fall but hearts shall pray
And love is love and hope is hope
Uncomplicated smile will beam
So deep within good will lives true
And all along at rest we care
