"for those who wish"

for those of you who've never loved....nor chanced beyond your sandbox door,

who chose to merely watch or wait......for heroes, villians, and acts of war.

for all  convinced they'll never see.......the tender places of life's confines,

and ponder long through storms inside........did god include in his design.

for every man who pays no time............to touch the gentle hands within

and thus cannot conceive the all............but separateness chaotic whim

for every broken hearted wife........... tempting death by sharpened blade,

in anger thru her choices wove..............who won't admit tis' her parade.

for those who hunger never wans.............and lonely destitution reigns

refusing to give up their want..............believing in eternal pain.

I offer each and every man..........each lad or lass to woman born,

a taste of something bittersweet...........if brave enough to sail the horn.

its there beyond horizons passed.......the make up of belief and act,

as hidden in the folds of time................a fiction mixed among the fact.

its not among the mountain tops............nor buried in archaic song,

you cannot grasp it with your hands............tho its been here all along.

you are of this and blind will stand.........lost in guessing games and rhyme

until you feel its gentle beat..........between the moments of your time
