Stillness of Beat
08 November 2005

Sadness was a broken heart
as to the empty feeling of one
To give - yet not get - perhaps
in a less selfish way was more to come

This element of desire to share
while friendship rewards desire
But what of destination - true reality
and the breath of whispering fire

Pain being anger in ways expressed
total toward reflected thought to give
For what was adversity to those who pretend
away from the limelight of life to live

Sadness will never mean - happiness
was a feeling of warmth inside
To gift without need of helping out
but where was time in reply in venture died

“And every wise hearted among you shall come,
and make all that the LORD hath commanded;”
Exodus 35: 10 KJV
