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. Peace of mind can only be achieved when we find peace with self |
