It's eight o'clock on a Saturday The weekend is moving along We sit at our screens in this latter day For the poet may send us his song We live in a world filled with loneliness Together but always apart And we read this to ease all our only ness In sharing he opens our heart He writes us a tale he's the poet man He writes of desire and fear In penning those words he does what he can To help us to feel that we draw near For we live in a time without harmony Bad news collects in our soul But he writes in the words of our tragedy And weaves them to make us more whole And he joins one and all in a symphony That shows us the rhythm of time As he holds one and all in a tympani That beats through the breath of all rhyme Oh la, la, la, la, la, la We are gathered together to read our fate Each at our screens one by one And he shows us of hate - how to get a mate And we listen till his song is done He writes us a tale he's the poet man He writes of desire and fear In penning those words he does what he can To help us to feel that we draw near And he writes us of hope and of mystery Tell us the tales of our dreams To teach us the future through history Tell us life's not what it seems We sit at our screens with our solitude And he writes the words of our song Gathering together our attitude To make a new world that is strong Oh la, la, la, la, la, la He writes us a tale he's the poet man He writes of desire and fear In penning those words he does what he can To help us to feel that we draw near Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.

 (smiles) God Bless You, sweet friend, this is absolutely beautiful, I love songwriting and the refrain is perfect for a chorus to a wonderful piano ballad or ragtime jingle! (kiss on cheek) I love it, sweet friend, rock on, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kethry, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth |

Beloved one, why beloved one? What have I ever one to deserve this? Its too bad that your writing is superior in every way, but to write this that made me sing is simply not fair. After all beloved you’ve heard me sing, you know what torture it is, and you can’t deny it I saw you cover your ears and wince more than once. Okay enough of my complaints, this is splendiferous and deserves to be given a pride of place in my Keth pieces. Into my library with you beloved, and you are utterly amazing. and forever Slushy Mushy   Tomorrow is another day I don't know what it holds |

Kethry, you're the best! This is fantastic-one of my favorite songs changed around so I can relate to it! Astounding and all those other superlatives I'm too lazy to think of! Nan (Pilgrim variety) |
