Forsaken Crown

Looking at the miracle
is the sound of something lyrical.
Holding fast and listening still
to the sound of nature’s will.

The frame is full of written sights
that forever speak of blight.
You listen close and are certain still
that your opinion is always right.

I wish that I had a river filled
with all the sanctimonious trill
one swallows like a bitter pill
like nothing that a conscience kills.

So, look to your rumors now
while the oars fill the prow
and find the gold upon the mound
of the once forsaken crown.

A crown could certainly be somewhat of a burdensome affair for some. It might take away some of the pleasure and joy that arrives with being free? Anysowhat, Brian there should be no price for freedom, it's free? Conscience? Mote along the lines and attempt to make one feel guilt it's a lovely day with a faint hint of rain. Not so bad! Best wishes, Mikki
