Rhyme

When it gets dark, I rhyme
That makes me believe one day I will shine

When it gets heavy, I rhyme
It comes naturally, and it connects me to divine

When life turns on me(which it sometimes will), I rhyme
It makes me strong, makes me wise and kind

When sailing through storms, I rhyme
That's my talisman, my war cry, my footprints, my sign

When I fail, I rhyme
It gives me hope, gives me reason to keep trying

When I succeed, I rhyme
It helps me share my pot of joy with my comrades, its my chime

When I am inspired, I rhyme
Its my tribute to thy inspiration, keeps me sublime

When happy, I rhyme
That's the best way I know to travel through time

When moon sings or sun shines, I rhyme
It's my alma-mater, my albatross...my shrine.
