Be of Good Cheer

The world flows round your mind
Corroding all that it does find

Confusion is all you feel
The world itself does not feel real

There is a song sung soft without fear
Be of good cheer, be of good cheer

It’ buoyed me up, for love is near
Be of good cheer, be of good cheer

For those who canst not riddles form
I envy you above the norm

For riddles fly round in my head
They are truthful, I am fled

From light and life and on to fear
I cannot form simple be of good cheer

This is what the world means
Ignoring what’s behind the scenes

But I know as I always will
How fear in the world can kill

So let it be, Let love be near
Be of good cheer, be of good cheer

If it’s not truthful I want no part
For I know darkness tears at your heart

But I’ll be a comfort loving you here
Whispering always “Be of good cheer”
