' Rise and Climb ... '

… to Stoop to that Level
… I have to Fall from Grace

… that Which is Beneath Me
only Educe a Downcast Face

… but, I would never Lower My Standard
to Equal a Crazed
Unconscionable Candor
And Rancor Debased…

… so, Snip, Snap, Yip and Yap …
Honestly, I’ll Pray for ‘ Me ’ and You
… for That, is the Wide Gap
and Difference Between The Dry Well  and Living-Water True

yet, I Humbly Bow My Head
so I can Lift Up Hope…
… and Hands and Hearts-make-Glad 
… to Voices Shared …  in Words ‘He’ Spoke

‘Cause,  I  am  ‘ ‘MoonBee ‘ … I’ll Not Cavil 
and to Let My Light Shine …

I’ll Never Stoop to That Level
… I Must Only Rise …  and Climb …
