Delightful Walk

I walked on the sunny way
Lined by daffodils in mid may
Along the lake beneath the cloudless sky
Pushed by the cool breeze watching birds fly
I walked alone watching young leaves sway
Sunlight seeping through and ripples play
Arching and bending the path went on
Leading to meet the far away horizon
where sun beckoned beyond the mountains
Luring me past the vast green plains
On I trod breathing the smell of fresh grass
Amidst grazing cattle and skirting moss
Bunnies hopping along, a merry company
Benevolent spring, its gifts far too many
I hiked on losing myself in enchantment
Cast by nature, so great its allurement
I turned back deep in trance
Feeling within the rise of a dance
Of emotions unknown until the rendezvous
In solitude, with everything pure and true
I became a believer in the unparalled power
In the divinity of this great treasure
Nature's influence on man so naive
Yes, this mystical force keeps me alive

Spoils of a battle

Trashing around in the rough ocean hanging on to dear life
Breathing in salty spray desperation to win the soulful strife
Scanning the far off skies looking for a beacon of hope
For deliverance from agony as strength fails to cope
With blows dealt by gales of uncertainty and travesty
Of emotions within, conflicts without and facade of false gaiety

The mind is tired and demeanor cold, how long can one endure
Constant drivel of the pompous, a storm pretending to be demure
Thunders of the immoral, the liars lightning ready to gore
Struggle for survival, crying for comfort with a throat so sore
Eyes glued to the horizon seeking the ark from the soul's core
That would brave the water, the weather and reach the calm shore

Abilities blunt, surging tides of will ebb, choices rendered inconsequential
Man's insensitivity, greed and unreasonable ambition how does one quell
Live and let live, this adage no more the order of the day
Whirlpool of avarice consuming every weak soul on its way
Leaving behind a debris of broken hearts that never will mend
Wounded, I watch, man's race for power difficult to comprehend
