Slanting Rays

floating through the air,
promises salvation,
removing the despair.
Slanting rays of topaz,
floating through the air,
promises salvation,
removing the despair.
Why are some people, contrarians,
always seeking an argument,
taking time from others,
without paying life's rent.
There is nothing free, in this World
and there may never be.
Even "free love"
is never cheap or free.
So long tomorrow.
Goodbye yesterday.
What happens today,
When you've gone away?
When angels sing,
their voices sweet,
what a divine,
heavenly treat.
Lest you think
your lost,
in a heavenly abode,
remember love is no cost.
Wooden fence rails,
as far as I could see.
Bleached by the Sun,
How long could it be?
Miles and miles
of wooden fence rail,
impressive it was.
It might never fail.
A beautiful fence,
my looking didn't tire.
Thank the lord,
They didn't use barbed wire.
Barbed wire, the great
ruiner of jeans,
one rip from it,
you had new seams.
Am I losing my mind?
Can it possibly be,
I'm losing my grip
on my own sanity?
If love comes to you,
don't push it away.
Savor the feeling,
'til the end of your day.
Love may appear
in many ways,
knowing not what it is,
creates an emotional haze.
Accept willingly, all the love
you receive,
it will be important later,
when you must grieve.
It was in the far past,
when stars fell from the sky,
hitting the land and sea.
No recovery efforts, no reason why.
When I was young,
I knew a girl, called Sue.
She would never, ever,
do what I wanted to.
A scary thought,
both night and day.
Will you be here,
after I've gone away.
Ask not of me,
for favor free,
when you love me not,
though I am not thee.
Beautiful dreamer,
Beautiful day.
My love for you
Will always stay.
In the dead of the night,
running fast as you can,
be careful as you step,
beware the Gingerbread Man.
