NEW OLD WISE:
Original 07 23 2010


New: appendages to wing
Torrents on nature’s streaming
River courses and grand parading
Troubadour boulevards and
Evening lady Promenades
Could music proclaim –or silence
The after-hour’s joint red haze
Minstrel melody line for melody
Line -halt momentum mood
Let alone mark time’s waning
Heart’s heartbeat pump spills
Octave fulfilled recital metronome
Old: spiritual gifts ordain
Immortal family strength
We knew to suffer anger
Express spiritual hymnals
Epical men in battle fatigue
Which ones were lovers?
Wise: with strength reserve
Which leaping deer -which
Mentor’s hidden –given ear
Forward toward lengths
Under natural cover of fear
Yell out appendage -sing.
