State of Serenity - Rambling Poetry

Hoping for the sweet smell of summer

And for the scent of all that that flower-man has sung

It takes all that man can give, but it takes all that man can take

If he truly gives, he truly takes, this true love

And he knows for he feels the sweet kiss of perfect serenity

If only he could tear from his heart the oncoming clouds,

If only he could tear from his heart the heavy cold rain

If only he could tear from his heart the invisible grief

If only he could tear from his heart the would-be despondency

And the bewildering power to remain touched and alive
