Life Now Cries Out, This Truth, There Is No Holy Grail

There Beyond The Purple Veil, I Hear Her Calling As sorrowing winds blow, darkness begins falling There beyond the purple veil, I hear her calling For the smell of the hillside, the flowers gifting Nature's streaming beauty, life that’s so uplifting Yet here I sit, quite desperate and so alone Wandering this darkness, how must I now atone. My heart wants relief, but the shadows are playing. Again I kneel down and sincerely start praying. Again this sad aching soul, its path looks ahead Recall my youth, fairy tale promises I was fed But mind and intelligence defeats not the dark I am now an ancient tree stripped of its bark Yet here I sit, quite desperate and so alone Wandering this darkness, how must I now atone. My heart wants relief, but the shadows are playing. Again I kneel down and sincerely start praying. My true love looks on just behind the purple veil Body exist here in pain, just a sadden shell Agony and weeping are my companions As I struggle here in torturous dark canyons Yet here I sit, quite desperate and so alone Wandering this darkness, how must I now atone. My heart wants relief, but the shadows are playing. Again I kneel down and sincerely start praying. Robert J. Lindley, 6-07-2022 Rhyme ( Trying to navigate through the dark ) ************ Life Now Cries Out, This Truth, There Is No Holy Grail I stab the stone wall, all to no avail Life now cries out there is no Holy Grail World has it right, all must walk their path blind Weak, we think we are body, soul and mind But reality points to that other thing True love that its bountiful joy can bring A soulmate, an angel to hold and love In that truth, we can see Heaven above. I attack that monster, that state of death. Doing so with my all, with my last breath. I wage a mighty war, futile tho' it will be. Knowing reality cries, death has final decree. I stab the stone wall, no hope- all to no avail. Life now cries out, this truth, there is no holy grail. Robert J.
