Song of the Simple Man Sing your lullaby to love's fair bride as your weary legs sink beneath a ragged web of worn flesh. This is the song of the simple man. Rest the hands cracked and calused upon the breast of love's fair bride. Soothe the sting of lacerated flesh. This is the song of the simple man. Rest your head crowned in plight upon the pillow of love's fair bride. Diffuse the bomb that ticks inside. This is the song of the simple man. Lay awake in silver light watching over love's fair bride; wondering why she harbors you. This is the song of the simple man. Welcome the morning cloaked by night while slumber still tends to love's fair bride. Stand again upon weeping feet. This is the song of the simple man. Lumber heavily down the silver hall Utter your sweet goodbye to love's fair bride. Whispers in the dark to cherished children. This is the song of the simple man. There amidst the roar of progress Smile in remembrance of love's fair bride. Endeavor to return with the silver light. This is the song of the simple man. You do not weep on tired knee or trouble love's fair bride. You watch your children dance with her. She embraces the song of the simple man. Copyright, Kevin V. Reese, 2004 |

Welcome the morning cloaked by night while slumber still tends to love's fair bride. Stand again upon weeping feet. This is the song of the simple man. The simple man is most gifted and graced. Especially when he realizes he has everything he needs. Lovely read. Thank you |

Not only is the pure and honest, it is very well written. I will tuck this into my library to revisit. Well done sir! |

The measure of a man is by the song he sings from his heart. I'd say by this song, you're quite a man!  I love the earthiness and realism of your writes.  Linda |
