Morning has broken my dreaming night smile
and cut off the corners with a large butcher’s knife
and because there’s no end to the world’s evil bent
my twinkle in eyes soon next to be rent.

It’s time, you see, that runs like a fool
discarding the best into modern day pools
but there’s more inside no knife can revile
no matter the day, no matter which life.

Take it, my friend, that which you unearthed
for what is mine always can be re-birthed
but I don’t want what was meant for just one
that time when love rose up like the sun.

Now minus the things that happiness brings
time pushes me on like a child on a swing
for I am that learning over, over, again,
to not ever forget I was beautiful then …
with a smile and eyes like mysterious stars
highlighting the depth of a timeless heart!

Jo - Thanks "muchly" for the read. The link has been sent - gives new meaning to "as in heaven, so on earth".
