Evergreen
I
know not what
The
future will bring
In
these times
Where
even free birds
Fail
to sing
We
hunt down
Enemies,
Who
live deep in dusty holes
And
watch helplessly
As
friends take their own lives,
To
release their tortured souls
We
fear on a daily basis
And
wonder,
What
would happen if?
How
can we can so deeply
care?
Committing
our being
To
solitaire
We
rage within
And
are prone to sin
Trembling,
saying as if?
Trying
to keep
Our
upper lip stiff
But I do know this
and
this,
Presence
of the present
Is
all we have,
For
the uncertainty of
in
this life
Brings
with it happiness
Or
sorrow.
Realizing
this,
I
am grateful,
To
exist and to depend,
To
love without regrets,
To
know friendships without end,
To
experience all that loyalty doth beget.
To
feel the presence of a higher power
To
smell the fragrance of a simple flower
To
glean from unwritten text
Both In this life and the next
to understand beyond reason
There is life in the changing seasons...
Does this seem an impossible dream?
I think not,
For even in the dead of winter,
Remains the Evergreen..........
To know this,
Is
peace,
