All Blue,—No Clouds

23 July 2008
Kew, England

It seems most everyone wants to retain,
A permanence that in short life can’t stay,—
It’s not a love for all eternity,
That I have looked for in purgatory ;

Another voice to sing a song’s refrain,
A body soft to cuddle with and lay,—
To laugh with mirth in times of poverty,
Thus kiss and hug into prosperity ;

But doubts or fears seems to cause some disdain,
Yet to no higher being do I pray,—
Believing each soul has suzerainty,
And from small choices make all certainty.
