I heard the sunset bid goodbye Above the city noise Tomorrow's hope still lingers For those with open eyes. "I am the voice of future The words of special praise I'll seek you after star dust I'll give you songs to sing." "I am the splendid reason That comes before despair The joy of ancient healing Wherein the quest is shared." "Across the concrete towers I call the hopeless weak, And bid the brain to blossom Above the graceless deeds." "Within the aching heartbeats I store a sacred spark And make the soul survivors Strike out against the dark." I heard that sunset whisper Above the smog filled streams "The world is here for lovers The serial of dreams." "I am the truth of living I am tomorrow's plan From evening til the morning I come refreshed again." "I bless the dawn with crimson I drink the sea's deep blue I fortify green leaves I bring relief to view." "I dance upon the hillsides I guide lost beggars home Give way to stars of night time While nature stands alone." "Within the world of living I am the light of truth With rays of lasting wisdom I cry to ears of youth." "I hear the breeze of summer Call to the fields of flowers "The world is made forever With beauty's secret power." "I come back like a treasure Each day I'm right on time And all my work is pleasure Feeding lowly and divine." "I call to those ungrateful To raise their head and see The produce in the market Comes from a diseased sea." "I beg the earth to answer For soiled nature's pains And save the worth of wonders Still coping under chains." "This is the search for conscience That cry for global change Which smothers greed with lovers Until I return again." |

You said a lot within the structure of this one, Eric. I liked it, and although you and I cross swords on certain fine points of what is right and good, I concur wholeheartedly with this masterpiece. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

This, sir, is an incredible piece of writing. "Across the concrete towers I call the hopeless weak, And bid the brain to blossom Above the graceless deeds." I loved the imagery and the choice of words throughout. Saving this one. Michael |
