melodies of life
We are forgetting
the melodies of life
that often bring smiles
in the face of falling flowers
.hidden melodies Of dark shore
make free the feathers
of small birds
to burn up the night
with a sharp pulse
and pointed desires
they move from the dark valley
have the butter cup Of light
tune the lyrics
in our material journey
we cut starve hurt and die
every second burning within
the wants greeds hatreds
like charcoal
we are in the race
push others back
love to stay
with the violent world
turn all the flesh and bones stone
we know this will meet
the tomb at the tunnel end
we know death is the master
we should not make the life
a crude batten like steel
world of flowers
are within our heart
with the melodies of life
let us reject
the parables of devil
make holy soil for our death
wild fingers let not snatch
our flute to tune
the melodies of our life
