Another Day in the Life...

Try as I might
both day and night
our vocabulary, cascades and falls,

to the ground, where we walk
like dark pieces of chalk
and the arrows, they beckon and call.

So cold, is this globe
that allows "day's" disrobe
where dreams swiftly prove we're, alive:

with faith in our actions
co-existing, in fractions
we need the light-rays of hope, to survive.

Bright is the day
and we'll find our own way
hopefully, not getting too lost;

a responsible "cage"
along with, barter or wage
and we move onward, no matter the "cost".

A signature, at day's end
from an "Omnipotent Friend"
as we bask in the glow that once was;

and when put to the "test"
trying our own, level best
then integrety springs, from what everyone does.

Life ages us, fine
like a rare vintage wine
as we savor a sip from it's cup...

what matters, to me
is that we all remain "free"
and share love, until our time on earth's up.

and 'til that comes to fruition
I'll make one admission
what my heart of hearts knows to be true;

you feel comfortable, to say
if it's me, who impedes your way...
'cause I sure as hell...will say it, to you !
