Even When The Entirety Fails The Wanted Sum
  
  I stand aghast at how fast these verses oft come
  Even when the entirety fails the wanted sum
  Upon low hills, I seek much higher mountain tops
  Rejoice, in blessings of poetry's bumper crops
  Treasures newborn by desires, searching souls and heart
  Oft joining mankind and Heaven so far apart.
  
  I stand aghast at how fast these verses oft come
  Even when the entirety fails the wanted sum
  
  I cast my ink and the paper begs for much more
  As old pen scribbles, broken heart weeps as before
  Careful to avoid sad-tears wetting filling pages
  Reminding spirit, poets are brothers to sages
  Born to gift and share Life's sweet blessings in black ink
  With knowledge that human life is too oft a blink.
  
  I stand aghast at how fast these verses oft come
  Even when the entirety fails the wanted sum
  
  I wake to dawn's voice, commanding compose more words
  We are more than just beasts roaming in raging herds
  From Life, we may find inspiration and pure Love
  Such may come, even if its not sought from above
  Hold this wisdom, this truth that promises much more
  All true-seeking may find joy of paradise shores.
  
  I stand aghast at how fast these verses oft come
  Even when the entirety fails the wanted sum

  Rhyme, ( What The Wise Old Owl Once Told Me )
  
  Old Note ( 1975): This week Life beat on me with abandon. 
  I lost my best friend and death also thrust its
  wicked blade at me. Yet my soul will defy its
  joining with Fate's blackened hand and wicked glee.
  
  
  New Note (2019): Now going on record, oft defiance is
  the true measure of a man. And in its journey
  we may rise to greater heights and see Fate
  and Death both temporarily thwarted. Yet such 
  is always a temporary measure. Death may come
  in a blink of any eye or upon a gnat's whisper
  in the blacken host of eternally raging winds.....
