I wouldn’t know how to receive you
Except I would find a way
I wouldn’t wish to deceive you
I have other irons in play
But I see you as a deserving cause
If no more to it than that
And of course you can use the exemption clause
On which to hang your steadfast hat
Most days I would try to write a poem; it is a practice, as I suppose is meditation, or smiling, or watching the world go by

Crest Of Wave
There is a line of beauty
Which should not be missed
It is as if ones duty
Is the nature of which is to be kissed
It is more than one could hope for
To find the pencil top
Among such a scattering of leaves
Yet with persistence, and lateral thinking
Also by taking an alternative perspective
The pencil top is found
Now back to that line of beauty
Just before the waters fall
It is as if ones duty
Is to be placed here waiting for the call
Which should not be missed
It is as if ones duty
Is the nature of which is to be kissed
It is more than one could hope for
To find the pencil top
Among such a scattering of leaves
Yet with persistence, and lateral thinking
Also by taking an alternative perspective
The pencil top is found
Now back to that line of beauty
Just before the waters fall
It is as if ones duty
Is to be placed here waiting for the call

White Bridge
To be so sure of oneself
Yet also to be aware
Of the hurt
And the indifference
To know that it is the I that does go on
Yet to map out
To search out
To deliver the ever deeper significance
Yet also to be aware
Of the hurt
And the indifference
To know that it is the I that does go on
Yet to map out
To search out
To deliver the ever deeper significance

Lauds
How might I save my love
For all of the love that I have known
How might I live a life of love
Embracing all of the love that I have known
Should the day begin with the early morning
In joyful supported meditations, opening my eyes
As the light enters from the darkness
Opening my soul; thankful that I am who I am
For all of the love that I have known
How might I live a life of love
Embracing all of the love that I have known
Should the day begin with the early morning
In joyful supported meditations, opening my eyes
As the light enters from the darkness
Opening my soul; thankful that I am who I am

Vigils II
To hear the Latin is a privilege
Also a route, a pathway
To one who I also know loved the Latin
Might I one day learn a few words
Explore the translated feelings of care and love
Ego autem diligunt te, quia te amo, ego amare
Also a route, a pathway
To one who I also know loved the Latin
Might I one day learn a few words
Explore the translated feelings of care and love
Ego autem diligunt te, quia te amo, ego amare
