~ (~) ~ the Beauty of a Song ~ (~) ~
~ (~) "Barters are made and bought... sold-for-and-sought-after; eternities light shown down-
from-there-to-here into-here-after... ." (~) ~
~ (~) "Because jovial now I know the truth, yes the only difference today remains to be the
indifference I know we all-carry-for-all-things, empowered-and-entrusted to each one of us
by God for our own fulfillment of the world's society as a whole, though it often abandoned its
virtue,
yes the way that I've seen we all do when we defile for-each-one, the-other, our certain God-
given-individuality... ." (~) ~
~ (~) "You carry me I carry you... because I hunger to offer another their freedom, comfort
same as anyone would,
yes as they have-often-done themselves-with-me... ." (~) ~
~ (~) "As does the goodness-of-the-rains I assume falling down embracing everyone in their
tender way — and-if in-the end the-farce... was-the-simple-fact that-we-were-all-different —
of what other origin, and far-kinder-premise yes greater purpose for all things would it-or-
could-it even-eventually serve, that is at all to be considered forthright... if anything;
for myself, my sanity...
I can-honestly barter-nothing... ?" (~) ~
~ (~) Of struggle, prudent-sacrifice and triumph funny how things always remain. (~) ~
~ (~) Hot summers high noon of virtue... grace, back rooms sweaty barber shops they first
bellowed out the melodies carrying Americas tunes, blue grass, that rock and roll... the blues.
(~) ~
~ (~) They drift now from junkie old garages the subtle basements of today;
yes some things I hope always remain, stay the same, albeit because this country I could not
call as much a home... because what is the latter of both its struggle and triumph,
if it's not its sacrifice for this being captured merely in the beauty of a song... ! (~) ~
