I don’t write verses
to suit purposes
I don’t use words
To nail their rhymes
To fit a song
To fill a book
To foster riches
Or gain control

This massive universe
That I may never know
Is, to me….
The only force
That I can call a home
And just like those
Who lived here
Before me
So I must live
To die
And to give way……..

Thus, we see things
Pass before us
Creating, destroying
Those that surround us
Believing we’ll live forever
Believing our spirits
Return in different forms
Invisibly grotesque
To frighten the living
We’ve left
After we’ve lost this life
That we shall live
Only once……

All matters
Matter only
When our hearts
Learn to unravel the truth,
When we seek for love
And love only
For love itself,
Never to succumb
To the ravages of time
Never regretting
The passing of youth
Moving on
Without ever looking back
Surrendering all our joys
And pain
To the One being that made us
Never bothering to question
The other loads
Laid out before us
By time and space

I only write verses
I only sing songs
I never use them
As they never use me

I can fill no books
I can foster no riches
But I can love you
And love you so…..

That is all I can do
That is all I can say….
