And In Rhapsody and Colors Life Flows
And In Rhapsody And Colors Life Flows
There in dear morning's soft glistening rays
White beach sand squishing between eager toes
Magical humming as waves blue sky sways
And in rhapsody and colors life flows
About, beyond, into eternity
I see an ant, its miracle divine
Endless waves splash into infinity
Dare I ever try to my soul define?
Do we see truth in blessing of sunlight?
Or dark in our desire to always fight?
Through scenic beauty and heart's tender beats
I sift sweet flavors of salt laced air
Graving far more than life's woes to defeat
I marvel at the birds flying in pairs
What do they think of dangerous mankind
Can they know we are lost seeking our way
Amongst trash we so often leave behind
Racing ever onward without delay?
Do we see truth in blessing of sunlight?
Or dark in our desire to always fight?
I walk in a soft daze wondering why
Life to us seems a magnificent mystery
We think foolishly to our flaws deny
When evidence emits from history
Then a fine gem appears, a strange seashell
Its radiance singing a lullaby
Immediately comes a wondrous spell
Saying, "your life exists to heaven fly".
Do we see truth in blessing of sunlight?
Or dark in our desire to always fight?
There in dear morning's soft glistening rays
White beach sand squishing between eager toes
Magical humming as waves blue sky sways
And in rhapsody and colors life flows.
Robert J. Lindley, June 24, 1979
Romanticism
Old Note-
I hope so deeply that life stops being so damn hard
In my dreams it promises such wondrously sweet rewards.
New Note-
Even now with rhapsody and colors fading
Life cries out, live and love- we are still grading.
