Ripening minds aching for picking
Emotional residue is thickening
How much my industry will offer
Struggling over and over to fill the coffers
Just a job my mind repeats
Wanting more my soul defeats
Lesser lights suppress the sigh
Fearing mindless lullaby
I reach into my deep down being
Searching for the poetic feelings
That capture mind and heart and soul
No dreary mindless job is this
No much more like spiritual bliss
Then write all day and into the night
Would do the coffers much but blight
But fills the heart and soul so well
But better not tell the job
To go to h&%*

Good honest write...enjoyed.

To have lived the dream of a love so true...
   is to have seen a glimpse of heaven.

~~**~~
The way you move me
I walk with your shadow
With your silhouette
Leave the light on
It always comes
Back to you
