One White House

For all the world
Within a butterfly
For all of the shadows
Along the long five-mile road

For all of the escapees
To be standing by
For all of the known and the knowing
To be in the ‘two paths ode’

For all of the views
Which came unto my eye
For all of those whose undulations choose
It is my heartbeat, and my rallying cry

For all of determinations
To be sought out before we go
For all of the wartime sedimentations
To be bold beneath a blood-red sky

For all of peace
To take away the hovering buzz
For all of the love to increase
Making it easier, to try, and to try

For all of my eternity
And yours too, I hear you sigh
For all of the joy, and the doubtless infinity
It is for your beauty that I write
