A Living Story
A living story
Without a taste of thunder
Isn’t a music that amuses the mind!
Ringing in the rain
The doorbell dares to dream
Of arriving attire of admirers
With warmth of welcoming words.
It can be a reality,
The magnanimity which does not hurt.
A path that paves with purple flowers
Blow the breeze well.
A chance of creativity
Is an act of action, daring for the dim day!
An evening of event
Tunes the sharp harp as well as
Shapes the wide wind
Teaching it to touch jaded hearts as it jesters.
The harp and the wind both have the music
For those who listen.
Freedom is in living.
Living is not neglecting to live
Without an utterance
Of your living story
Even if it has just begun.
