Counsel
Lady,
I am flattered at your skill at harm
Now let me see your skill to build
Tearing down has certain vulgar charm
My soul is but a poet's giant mill
And there is nowhere I intersection find
With shared values or shallow mind
The poet is above reproach, others tried
Before our time, and broken hearted died.
Meddlers
Have an inner need to mature and know
The stream that passes them moving slow
Carries very strong current below
Respect this flow, then into the waters go.
We are bothered
By fanatasy of the mind, with no line between
The possible and the impossible, the real
Becomes what anxiety designs, hearts unclean
See a world the same, and lose it in their zeal
Lady,
Do not die in panic because the bee can sting
Enjoy its honey, learn industry there
For even with fast flapping wings it will sing
And pollinate flowers to blight despair.
