Notes About The Poem

the soul of us all

Artifacts of artistry 

Approach a blurred mind trembling

And we will go remembering 

When youth meets with despair.

On steeds of deeds a galloping, 

Surrendering our luck;

We pluck from life a pear or two 

With lips pressed dripping;

Owning only Time.

We make it rhyme, by God, 

We make life fine.

While on the sands of Israel 

Beneath the twilight sky

We find our Babylon within

A newborn baby's cry.

All of us, each one, is not alone.

The Light that is the soul of us

Still burns where Love is shone.
