Can You Play?

With mere bristles washed and head forward,

Across the glimmering water runs, the brow held high

And the feeling of being part of it all, while the

Wind sweeps slowly, but largely down the path, the water makes

The best of times, that cannot be the best of times;

For in this body lies the spirit that so overflows, and spreads

Throughout the lands, and fields and forever's pieces, and makes

Its wants glow, to you, to them, to all of them...for we are simply caretakers,

Not owners, we dare only touch those things that shall move on past us

Making life and love for someone else. The love and life I desire.
