I Swear a Sincere Oath Each Arriving New Morn

I Swear A Sincere Oath Each Arriving New Morn Amidst wreckage and sorrows dwelling deep I fight to beautiful memories keep To break dark that threatens to engulf me So oft swamped by storms from crashing seas I a floating leaf in massive expanse Lonely and bereft of heart's true romance. I walk beneath wondrous beaming blue skies. Ever seeking that which time now denies. I swear sincere oath each arriving morn To thus battle, to mend this life so torn Not as a warrior to brave or too proud Or a timid soul hiding in the crowd But instead as a hopeful refugee One so desperate and too mad to flee. I walk beneath wondrous beaming blue skies. Ever seeking that which time now denies. Once eager heart beat in me and much more Long ago, I strolled sweet white sand shores Singing with light and dancing in fine tune Under summer sun in the month of June Watching rolling waves and that deep blue sea As a young lad, not this old refugee. I walk beneath wondrous beaming blue skies. Ever seeking that which time now denies. I swear sincere oath each arriving morn To thus battle, to mend this life so torn Not as a warrior to brave or too proud Or a timid soul hiding in the crowd But instead as a hopeful refugee One so desperate and too mad to flee. I walk beneath wondrous beaming blue skies. Ever seeking that which time now denies. Robert J.
