FOUR

Old man

Old man reading book,
Never to old to grow wise,
Joyful eyes express,
________________________________________
Time

The days,
Tumbling fast,
The clock racing by hour,
Time to thee I invoke please,
Free me.
________________________________________
Grey Hair


Mortality Nye,
Grey hair sunshine glowing bright,
Wisdom my true friend.
________________________________________
Fond Farewell

Fond farewell to youth,
Welcome now age and wisdom,
Too long in coming.
________________________________________
________________________________________
THREE

Lamentations Cry

Lamentations cry,
For the lonely children's sigh,
Bringing peace through hope.
________________________________________
Crimson Signpost

Crimson sign post read,
Hate mongers epitaph dead,
Freedom found for peace.
________________________________________
Within

Beauty bound within,
The mask a refuge for her,
Safe from peering eye's.
________________________________________
________________________________________
TWO

Souls Voice

I merely a man,
Do my best to understand,
Language in soul's voice.
________________________________________

Garden gate swinging,
Looking through rain soaked windows,
Heart beats like thunder.

So sad That I cry,
For past recollections then,
Rather than rejoice.

ONE

Illusions lie in dreams,
Enlightenment lies in the heart,
In the actions of;
In the words of,
Poets.

Very enjoyable.
