Eternal Seasons

Eternal Seasons

A wish to be like you,
So graceful in your descent.
To dream this dream true
In seasons that came and went.

To share this view together,
Under the same arching sun.
To know the changing weather,
For in being we are one.

Yes! With the breeze we dance,
And in the light we shine,
It's such a splendid romance,
One truly divine.

This wish to be,
Is a yearning from the heart,
In the life of a tree,
From where I depart.....

In the life of a tree
From where I do start.

The Empire and the Oak

Empires they fall,
And traditions fade.
Will history recall
All the debts paid?

Where lovers hearts break
In the silence night.
How much will this life take
Until we no longer fight?

So rest your arms,
You weary soldier.
Begone all the harms
As time grows older.

May you live for the day
Upon you now,
And know thy way
In the land you plow.

And remember the seasons
As they come and go,
For natures reasons
You do know: That

The empire and the oak
Are one of the same.
One cloaked with velvet,
The other with rain.

And centuries will pass
through generations borne,
Until what has amassed
Will someday be gone.

Into the Day

Yes, today will be like none before
The golden sunset along the Manhattan shore,
Where she raises her light
Into the coming night.

On the Wind

On the Wind

Lord I ain’t no saint

But I’m sure no sinner.

A true lover may be taint

For my heart feels dimmer.

Let me know of others

Who can relate their tales.

Where art’ thou brothers?

That have faced such gales.

Have you maintained your course

In those shifting tides?

Have you no remorse

For your weeping brides?

Your hard leather skin

And firmament gaze,

Laughing at sin,

Setting it ablaze.

This fiery soul

I wish to be

Alive and oh’

So easily free.

For your course is fair

Your direction set.

Mistake not worry for care

Nor past for regret.

Tell me of your toils

In waters unknown.

Of purities that spoil

Far off from home.

For I know that you

My brother of this tale

Have a way more true

In a full-winded sail.

And to this you say

Let idle men be

And lunatics laugh.

You’ll pass thee

And tame thy calf.

Let liars lie

And cheats conspire.

For a watchful eye

Will never tire.

Let a poor man hope,

And a rich man dine.

For one mans rope

Is another mans twine.

Let the prudent man rule

So dreamers may dream.

Let the fools be fooled

By the schemers scheme.

And now that you’ve heard

Of this that I’ve seen.

Know that my word

Is all that I mean.

For I am no saint,

Nor am I a sinner.

And all hearts feel faint

In love that grows thinner.

A bride may weep,

Into white satin blue skies

Yet in her heart still keep

Her true lovers eyes.

And virgins will open

Like the sail unto the sea

To hear these whispers spoken

By a man he claims to be.

So to all this I ask

What man are you?

Take off they mask

Tell it now, tell it true. 

A Fine WIne

"Wisdom, is knowledge aged."

Loneliness

Loneliness

All the rash decisions and

Careless thinking.

I don’t blame it on the drinking.

All the late night wandering

Into time, sinking sinner,

I don’t blame it on the drinking

I blame you.

Alone, leave me to be.

I won’t miss you,

You won’t miss me.

These tricks you play

In the darkness of night.

Such a jokers way,

A sinners might.

Rid me of you,

These heavy shackles, your

Sorrowful demands.

You’ll find no sympathy here

Where courage of man stands.

For I’ve already left this place

As empty as when you first came.

Now that your gone loneliness

There is only me to blame.

If man is forced to choose between his country or the world, I choose the later.  For countries are nothing more than fixations of man, and man is but a creation of this world.
