Rain water on Leaf
like pearly dew drops or tears
of deep grief-caught on the cheek
hanging a while, not dropping down
but slowly slipping by
who is alive ?who had to die?
time to go for some, time to cry-
this loss is temporary, final abode
is the same for all- destined to fall, like rain, dew drops, tears, all.
a sparkling Summer’s night
Truth is linked, Faith is strong,the day is long
It will not be long when the shadow will turn to
Light and the darkness will go,the heat will flow
to coolness,the night will have time more and slow-
Summer is welcome in half the world,while half
is cursing hating the bitterness of hail and snow
If it be desert go in the shadow of the mountain
it is dark cool and safe,the enemy will not know;
welcome cool drinks and lemonade,if its hot
remember the cold,if it is cold think of the heat
it is for a while the change appears,before we know
it is gone away same speed, we say fast,some say slow….
Yet when Summer is at its peak, it is the last streak
call it D-Day-6th or 21st it will not stay, soon,though
not before taking its toll of hundreds or thousands
deliberately sent to death or called by nature,
“Lets go’
