Clouds Begin Gathering:
I am as far away from pompous as one will ever be
It’s just those poetic words come swirling into my head from multi colored seas
Then large black rain clouds begin their gathering and if I don’t release the rain
I’ll drown in agony
I don’t know most the great sooths Sayers, from this, or any century
And I don’t pretend to know what words, make good company
This is something that was born in me, without my giving birth
I grew into a man, and a gave myself one plan, I am, who I am
I’m worth only, what I can be
So don’t look too deep for the hidden wisdom, from old spirit rising gracefully
I don’t pretend that I can marry, and then carry, heavy continents to the sea
But I must admit, I love the taste of this champagne, and its full flavor dignity
But here on the ground, is where I’ll stay, in full sight of true lovers, of poetry
