Left or right it’s the same old scene
unleashed from the essence of love
that brings the carriage a-rolling in
with everything proudly man made.

Rummage and scrimmage; here’s a delight
and a joy only I can behold
but guess again, friend, what’s mine is yours
at this or the very next stop.

It has to stop to deliver the feel
of life’s many variable parts
but always it starts again and again
to the beat of a baby’s cry.

There’s a new one now in the fold
of a confined and restricted space
where years of conditioning, manipulating,
will result in an adult pose
supposedly in the know
of the complete and utter truth.

Guess again, friend, no one can know
that soul has a life of its own
tied that’s true to a confined space
but stretching and reaching, uplifting
into the arms of love.

So coughs and splutters the soul
unbeknown to the adult within
that seeks to believe what it perceives
for ever and ever, amen.  

Ah, men and women stone crumbles to dust
and the earth tilts far and wide
when spirit decrees it’s time to believe
nothing man made will last ~
but love isn’t made that way
and I love you
for ever and ever, amen!
