Like A Child (+1)

I think like a Buddhist,

but pray like a nun

 

I see like the mountain,

but reach like the sun

 

I stand like Gibraltar,

but rage like the sea

 

And love like a child,

reborn unto thee

His Wishing Well

 

Always drawn to stronger women,

in a cerebral kind of way

 

He missed the charm of a softer maiden,

the joy her flowers splayed

 

He married a woman just like him,

who made life a living hell

 

To die while dreaming of that one sweet lass,

her heart—his wishing well
