Lustre of Life Paint a perfect picture of home and a river of watercolor blue and chrome all so suddenly you are not alone This lustre of life walking on the sun the keeness of a knife and the barrel of a gun oh this lustre of life we will have our fun Pen a perfect poem of love and an ocean moon like a diamond in the rough all so suddenly you called their bluff This lustre of life dancing with the stars the drummer counts to five and you find out who you are and this lustre of life we all have our scars Check the time and stumble into rhyme the right words for the monotony beat of every day your lines all rehearsed and you couldn’t feel any worse sometimes we all need to say hey world, won’t you get the hell out of my way This lustre of life walking on the sun the keeness of a knife and the barrel of a gun oh this lustre of life we will have our fun This lustre of life singing to the moon scratching to feel alive moving with a lilt in your tune yeah this lustre of life we work all our lives to ensure it won’t end too soon oh isn’t it funny the sad irony? Paint a perfect picture of home got traumas in the television, dramas on the telephone it comes to you suddenly, you are never alone “Difficult times often bring out the best in people”—Bernie Sanders |

Paint a picture of the soul, and is it just a picture? I do this daily in able to face life. But then is it really life I am facing? Enjoyed this much. We poets do tend to leave it all on the page. Michael |

Depending on the day I'm not sure how much lustre is left in life. I find it corners I haven't been to in a while. Enjoyed the thinking.

I like the ideas here, and the way you express them (pen, paint, etc. . ) Excellent. . . -- That which gives light must endure burning. |
