Champagne flutes,candelabras
Musicals,comic operas
Mysteries,romantic dramas
Life and it\'s enduring trauma
Charm and beauty which have their roots
In destiny that life recruits
From neglected seeds that bear no fruit
And time that echos in memories it loots
Like sapphire to turquoise and emerald to jade
Two different sides of the same brilliant shade
Though their luster will ultimately fade
Leaving only the impression they made
Light and shadow conspire with sadness
To bring tears to the artist as They ready Their canvas
We recall a time when innocence had Us
Like the blood of Jesus had by a chalice
Lyrics of Yesteryear embraced by Today
Like a sunny sky recalling a time it was gray
The stars within Your eyes align
To eclipse those in the World combined
The aberrant mania of a balanced mind
Five Year long poems with Months between lines
Watching the bees fly from flower to flower
From Day to Day and hour to hour
Mature beauty from which youth may cower
Staying close to the weak in case someday They\'re in power
Sitting in nature,perhaps by a fire
Embracing its warmth,which will no doubt inspire
A poem or two and that which is sired
Like a song composed for and sung by a choir
Unexplained outbursts mellow in time
Assisted by all too apropos rhymes
The brilliance of which will one Day align
The Earth with the stars,as per their design
