Pass It On, No Pass-Backs

Pass It On (No Pass-Backs!) A friendship’s here for you (that’s free), so pass it on (no pass-backs), where walls can fall (constricting heart). So pass it on (no pass-backs). My arms? (The warmth of poetry! So pass it on (no pass-backs), that would not mock, support your art!) So pass it on (no pass-backs). Toe my debris that borders soul, so pass it on (no pass-backs), aspiring beach with sand that greets! So pass it on (no pass-backs). Tsunamis’ action (distant goal?), so pass it on (no pass-backs), here filtered! Rhythmic waves are treats! So pass it on (no pass-backs). Truth’s yoke’s a gentle one at best, so pass it on (no pass-backs), joy shared (and pain) the least can taste, so pass it on (no pass-backs), that aids Life’s quest for better rest! So pass it on (no pass-backs). What rhymes can’t own, more waste! So Pass It On (No Pass-Backs!)
