Thoughts

At a crossroads in my mind,
Looking for something fresh to find
Maybe a tale or poem new
That elder wisdom or tasty brew

Learning to teach, a noble path
Defy reason for fulfillment and delight
One life to have, no wrong path to choose
Leave missing the notes in these measures

Ambient stars are out tonight
With hideous gargoyles, those haunted protectors
Masks pulled off, humanities exposure
Maybe Snow White was fulfilled in her slumber

Rain reminds day to day
Each drop alone can cleanse the body
But all the rain of a passing storm
Can cleanse the “me” from the body

War, countries, Leaders, more kisses from Judas
Maybe a cross can blind a countries morality
If for a minute tears where listened to
Our hearts would reveal that love embraces death and fear.
