We dream of Love,

Never on their beautiful facesAny, angered, dreadful frownsThey are the only creaturesThat will never let you down,Trustworthy and faithful,Veritable living treasures,The best friends to have around.

All that is honest,Truthful and sweet.

If the Country totally fails,The entrails of the Earth,Are too deep and hot to sail.

A Ship without a Captain?Squashed against a Monorail?A Country,Sad, Irresponsible and Frail?No, this cannot be,The 21st Century,America.

Regardless ofRuthless timesAnd sadness had,Please bring out,The very best in usThe Love, the GoodnessThe Beauty, the TruthThe Wisdom,We are supposed to have,The humanity we’ve lost,Along the wayAnd never again found,Bless us with your musicHeaven bound,Give us the Peace,That we were meant to haveMake us whole againAs we were meant to be,Please,Long Live Poetry!

The one we don’t knowWhat flowers of joy it will bring,The one that my hand will forever hold,And be at my side as we grow old,The one whose love is always there,Beloved presence, everywhere,The one imagined, never foundAs each new Spring just came around.
