About

Life New Born

The day turns to tired
The spirit turns to dark
An overwhelming thread of sadness
Permeates the not-so-graciousness
Of...leave me alone! Because
Danger walks with me
'Till wills become
The nightcap toys.

Listen...Listen, 'tis only quiet that stalks
The bastion of glory bound
While time has sought life
Brought forth from labor's strife,
And the only thing we have in passing
Are the presents we leave behind
To foster that youthful essence
In the time of next and found.

Listen...Listen to the noise of life new born
The spirit turns to light!
Christening new come babies
Brings God past all my maybes
And lengthens time brought forth to me
And brightens my carry-on song
While youth proceeds to toast my time
My time...to stay.
