Of Words and Verse

With reason, not rhyme, 
I do commit no crime. 
Time flows, tides follow, 
I rest in a cabined hollow. 
Gravity binds me to earth, 
only humor offers me mirth. 
When I speak, you hear, 
to words we all hold dear. 
The horizon seeks a setting sun, 
when all day's deeds are done. 
 
The horizon vanishes in the dark, 
We find our bodies a spot to  park. 
When I dream, I perceive, 
When you peek, you receive. 
There is no gravity, 
no room for brevity. 
Tides wish, time watches, 
Doors no longer have latches. 
With rhyme, not reason, 
I commit poetic treason.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
