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. Robert J. Lindley, 6-08-2022 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? Quote: "Life begs, begs repeatedly for an answer" RJL Copyright © Robert Lindley | Year Posted 2022 *********************** SIZE=5][B]Moonlight Sip Brings Handsome Cherished Glow[/B][/SIZE] 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. Robert J. Lindley, Sonnet Sept. 19th 1972[SIZE=4][B][/B][/SIZE]
