Its place in this universe, That made us all Which, in turn Is made of us all To lay unfettered With our sacrosanct lives Or be mobile And cease to be.

Do you feel nature is a bad presage? that nurture came out of age? that all mothers encage? that those who encage can sell? ​ I was too young to stand on your shoulder the apple falls closer than a bowlder that apple only wanted something to hold her a feeling she did fail ​ Now I am too old to fit in your shoes your prey drive keeps bringing bad news none of us had to choose one of us has to tell

11 June 1963 Is it too much for people to live with one heart beneath the sky? You see, the clouds refuse to rain down upon me. I can hear nothing but the faint rustle of the flames, the flag of five colors. I can hear my heart. I want the same as anyone. I am no different. Assurance of the quiet, of the faint happiness. I know my brothers and sisters encircle me. They are not dancing. Their legs are being broken. I have been made for the lotus, become the lotus.

live for the trees and the buzzing of the bees live for the running water and for a cool breeze live for each other and live for a smile for the feeling that you get every once and awhile when a little bird is chirping in its mother nest when you get those butterflies deep down in your chest don’t live for tomorrow, live for today live like nothing’s going to get in your way chase all your dreams and let your thoughts fly go with what it seems don’t wait on a sign while you do that i’ll live my life that hoping one day maybe you’ll be mine

Yes, at times life can be a heartache Don't feel your love is a big mistake The roses bloom for you God's love is real, it's true A poet is His greatest create!
