Morning Fresh Baked Bread

Anyone can act
Pretend to be something 
Or someone else

But only a chosen few 
Can play themselves 
In any company 
Or situation 

It's even more precious 
Than rude health 
And can't be bought with wealth 

He is the righteous King
In the presence of the foolish 
Who waste there time
On vinegar and wine

In the grand design 
Of all that exists 
He doesn't want what he is told should be missed

His weary head sleeps aloft
A pillow of freshly woven cloth
Cupid has kissed
With feather quill

While the Roses dance
Inside a petal meant for March
Underneath the mural art
Of butterfly and fire and soothing waves

That motion towards the shale sand
Accompanied by Cathedral Strings and Brass Bands
Struck by light the quarter moon at night awaken 
Like early morning bread mother baked
To accompany your milk and corn flakes
Before 1st class at Sunday School

If 1 can find peace
In one's self
The meaning of life 
Is surely a long and happy 1
