Disappointments in this life can come in feet and miles
The turning into learning is not always met with smiles
And I am not so different, a human being first
With but one experience, I cannot fear the worst

Creatively the spirit will emerge to guide a walk
Where openhearted sharing, is foremost in the talk
The season now brings to the fore the reasons of each day
As time is simply borrowed, never owed, for life to pay

And so I choose to build a life embracing what is good
A mixture so intuitive conserves the thought it should
In making love reality, a solid base to thrive
Without such inhibitions, every dream will come alive

So building is my forte, without a silver spoon
To take from basic urges the wisdom of the moon
These values that are forged upon the innocent from birth
Take shape within our conscience mind and somehow cast our worth

But the interpretation of what was brought to light
Begins inside the hearts of man and burns forever bright
I am only seeking of the tangential take shape
To be bound with honor in relationships of sake

I seek no title and no heir to fortunes others hone
Not wife or mistress to the depths of surges I don’t own
Small within the universe I seek the bells as tolled
To ring within the depths of me the snug of hopes enfold

Oh wise woman of the northern regions...
I bow to the master of wisdom.
