Life Now Cries Out, This Truth, There Is No Holy Grail
(1.)
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.

Rhyme
***
Note:
The winter cold chills with its glee
As frozen are the lost fruit trees
Heart walks into welcoming abyss
Life and death, dare one such times miss?

"Life begs, begs repeatedly for an answer" RJL

Moonlight sip brings handsome cherished glow
Taste stirs the brain to memories quick fire
Then I beg for answers so I can know
Even if they should raise more ravenous ire.
But Fate hiding in the corn answers gives
Not just to soothe my feverish desires
About this sad world and how mankind lives
Crashing remembrance on funeral pyres.
And how rebellious mind then plays its games
Arguing from corner in far-left field
It places my faults giving her all blame
O' yes, never can this soul true truth yield.
Moonlight sip brings handsome cherished glow.
As my heart begs the lies, all just for show.
