These are things I like to ponder.
The desert’s snow, a monkey’s toe.
To make my mild mind wander.
But there comes a time I cannot rhyme.
I lie in my bed and wonder.
If there is a life after this life
to which my soul can saunter.
For windy days of weary ways
Cast a shade of dimness.
But is it just the lack of know
That drives my state of business?
Some may sing while others eat;
The birds forever flapping.
Oh, but nature finds a way
To loop its gentle rapping.

Turning cheek so rarely dawned
Fascinate by harsher light
A dancing flame so warm and bright
Hands that mill the metered time
Twist and forge a new-world rhyme
Asking why we play this game
Forgetting all the beasts untamed
But in the end the smiles will sear
Tears may fall, but friends be near.
Through salted time my heart be there
Tendering a tempered care
And so I say you simply are
A glowing moon in sky of stars
You've painted on the world a smile
Strolling down his spanning miles.
My only hope is in my life
Despite the pain or streaming strife
That you may paint your heart a kiss
And bathe forever in its bliss.
