Great scientific minds Working for cures Of terminal diseases, The clock ticks... What is the cure

On the brink of leaving, To go beyond These borders And say good-bye, To all you know,

One lit candle burns brightly As I make a wish upon it’s Golden aura, that Humankind May learn to caress the earth As the wind does a field of flower…

Just a small part of me wants strife to go away, to return to a kinder time. Am I just losing courage? Life is draining me,

Sitting on the lake shore, Which made my heart soar, The water rippled at times, Swirled into beautiful lines, Clouds reflected in it’s mirror,

Walking down the dirt path, Sounds drift on the air, Birds chirping, leaves Rustling, dogs barking. Interconnection of life

Geese are honking As they fly Across an orange colored Sky. My spirit soars

Life is like a dream A star studded sky A blink of an eye Oh, how life slips by. Life is like a song

The white snow, thin Like sand, over The fields, blowing Across the road. My car rambles

This is the America I know: A sea of white, black, red, yellow And brown faces, Strong minds and voices Raised to the sun,

The chimes outside the pottery studio ring like a temple bell, calling the faithful to honor,

Walking on the beach of long ago, the constant roll of the gulf, it’s sound, like a lullaby.

Every hour we are someone Different, Every day something new Learned, Death is just another

Squirrels with bushy orange tails leap about the deck. Crickets hum, confused that it’s not dark yet. The caw of a blue jay

In the still night In the silence, My soul begs, My mind to rest. It’s story told
