World's Buffet by Linda Munday This frantic life is not our lot It drags our feet through clay Like tigers claws it scratches life And in the dirt we lay Although it tries to entice us Please push it right away Like poison in silver cup Avoid the world’s buffet But in our mouth it tastes so sweet A feast set on a tray But in our stomach tastes like bile Our senses are betrayed The simple things are often missed A pace that leads astray The fashion of the modern world No time to sit and pray Come quietly to the roses now And smell their sweet bouquet A soul’s retreat from pace and pain A legacy conveyed |

Linda~ Oh, what an important message you convey in this one. 'Come quietly to the roses now And smell their sweet bouquet A soul’s retreat from pace and pain A legacy conveyed' And a calm serenity comes over me with the thought of this. Thank you for sharing it. I love to stay up and share my night hours with wonderful friends half a world away. LOOK at that moon ... she's doing a number on me too !  Go on .. go look ... I'm taking a peek and knowing that you're looking makes me feel that we're just a sigh away. *Moon Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |
