Dew Drops

Thrill knowledge with the desire to spread Ideals across heads like grains of sand Sprinkle little rays of brightness Into cups full of vanilla ice-cream If the sun doesn’t sparkle Then there is no one to blame But one’s own eyes Blind to the legacy that showcases it’s prize in the middle of the day If the moon’s enchanting lullabies don’t soothe the soul Open up the heart and let winds Change the currents and ease the turmoil Tealeaves soak in small kettles over the stove Passionate inferno and a stream of serenity Measured into china cups and a sugar lump in each To put into a smile and a twinkle of the eye Do the world a favor and breathe between bamboo shoots and bowls of rice While Time runs his hand over the strings on the guitar And plays Life a love song Time is not eternally handsome or young Life is not always bearing silk and jewels But the hourglass keeps flowing and love grows despite the looks and pearls Arpeggios play slowly while dusk draws further away and it’s another day I could hold your hand and run forever through lanes of cherry blossoms Racing towards storms of crimson flora that from a hurricane would be shamed Falling down as I open my heart and let them rest in memoirs Whispering secrets and thoughts that take a lifetime to say But a second to realize Mysteries never really bothered me If everything was known then why should I blink To renew tears for sorrow and tears of laughter I’d love to know most of it but I’ll be fine if I die without knowing it at all As long as I know how it feels to live then I’ll be fine Molecular Biology and Genetic evolution and all terms fade From textbooks and minds Awakening dreams and aspire to devote themselves to dew drops Disciples of a flawed world Defects are perfect to judge the worth Of perfection Inside endless worlds there lies just a simple dew drop Prisms reflect giving ideas of complex Intricate weavings and deeper then deep thoughts Everything to you has to be a little more then less But less is maybe exactly what your looking for Despite riches and greed infiltrating peace I have more wealth in a glitter of an star Then in a stock bond Laugh it up and respire To expire and depart this life With handfuls of luminous memories inside of balloons to help one float up Into the Sky
