Evergreen
I
know not what The
future will bring In
these times Where
even free birds Fail
to sing We
hunt down Enemies, Who
live deep in dusty holes And
watch helplessly As
friends take their own lives, To
release their tortured souls We
fear on a daily basis And
wonder, What
would happen if? How
can we so deeply
care? Committing
our being To
solitaire We
rage within And
are prone to sin Trembling,
saying as if? Trying
to keep Our
upper lip stiff But I do know this and
this, Presence
of the present Is
all we have, For
the uncertainty of in
this life Brings
with it happiness Or
sorrow. Realizing
this, I
am grateful, To
exist and to depend, To
love without regrets, To
know friendships without end, To
experience all that loyalty doth beget. To
feel the presence of a higher power To
smell the fragrance of a simple flower To
glean from unwritten text
Both In this life and the next to understand beyond reason There is life in the changing seasons...
Does this seem an impossible dream?
I think not,
For even in the dead of winter, Remains the Evergreen..........
To know this, Is
peace, Boon, 11 / 02/ 2001
