How goes the body friend? How ticks the mind? Did you find the Demons wanting? Is the morning light sublime? Have you wondered how the Angels sang When they filled the night with song? Have you angered with a short fuse burnt When drivel lasts too long? Do you long for peaceful moments Do you loath the clamour, loud Seek an isolation From the leather, foul mouthed crowd? Have you come to terms with silence As you ponder evening light? Is equivocation righteous Or does wrong consume the right? Are you happy with your yardstick Do you feel you've played it right Or is it time to shut the curtain And surrender to the night? M.
