Concepts From The Thoughts Of The Old Beggar
And well it seems
That your horse rides well
In this sad world with me.
In the flicker of a light,
In a butterfly that is blind,
In the eye that dares listen,
Stammers echoes
Hides soft shadows and surrounds
Aching sea and fallen tree.
Hold the murmur
Of hope and great loss
Against a pale blue sky.
We are shreds of ancient ancestors
Living in den of prisoners
Asking truth to stay.
For love never yields
To dirty aces
Or rotten tomatoes in Spring
And his mind cried
For life races
Into a darken corner
The grey night soft moans
Worshipping a candle
As heart deep sleeps.
