Resonant Chords

God help those whose hidden tears

flow with no reservation

whose hearts are filled with the pain

of a thousand dying men

 

If he should kiss their fate

with majestic unseen lips

like an all-enveloping sea of

unadulterated love

 

They could see all that

their future could hold, and

lift their heads to greet it

with hope and joy in their eyes

 

Alas there is no unseen

hand to pluck the resonant chords

of our futures. We are to ebb

and flow with the rythms

that we ourselves create.
