Where so reach my home
O to be so naïve
And live a life all alive
Nowhere to arrive,

Knots Knotted In Mind
All life I wandered,
In search of vague meandered,
But when I pondered,
Said my long subdued heart’s voice:
Unknot all knots, mute all noise.

From toils and travails
Of tense, maddening travels,

white cross above resting bones

Their conceit gone high 
Clouds try scale a lofty crest,
Break down, tears roll by—
Of fallen false pride in haste,
All Nature laughing in jest!

Heard around kiss printed out.

Kept widening on your cheek....
