beetles did scurry
out from the logs of wood
as the axe chopped

I could have learned to play the Harp
into forever and a day
instead I learned to sing into the morning
and leave tomorrow for another time

to right of stage Malcolm waits
of understudy role he is tired
taking hold of the Liberal Party reins
has long by him been aspired

should the polls keep dipping
with Tony in the feature role
the Liberal party members shall call
on Malcolm to take control

within the next few months
a change of leader is on the cards
which will make the Liberal Party's
stocks better by hundreds of yards

there is a Violin playing and feet tapping
all the way over the waters
America is awaking their Orchestra, s
and the sound carries clear across the ocean

an ethereal presence
felt long before ever being heard
energy flowing through space and time
resonant frequencies with dynamic effect

inducing within romantic chambers
a rhapsodic ocean of dance and song
a mountainous symphony of possibility
a delicate and gentle concerto of dreams

musical princess of harmonic evolution
melodic instrument for conscious healing
emanating perfect pitch whether sharp or flat
an athenaeum of inspiration and maternal lyricism

...oh, to remain in concert...

a natural work of art
   unnaturally rearranged
delicate sensibilities
   under patterns of shadow

self-portrait of inertia
   depicting withdrawal
pursuit of recognition
   motionless in futility

muted colors of being
   imbalance in the spectrum
intrinsic inquisition
   casting quality of light

fruits of perseverance
   nourishment for survival
openness and acceptance
   creating spatial composition

flowers in heart's vase
   healing from suffering
light from obscurity
   still life with darkness
