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.
