Prelude to a Love Story

 

Underneath the waterfall

Far below the eagle’s call

Rises the beauty in us all

That snatches us away with its claws

 

Can man know love on his own

If they gave him advise

Would he even listen to the rocks or stones

Could he recognized if they spoke precise

 

Does a woman know

She’ll speak if she thinks she knows so.

Claiming protection from them all

Who ask for a sign but never saw.

 

 ***

 

Far above the clouds so high

A kingdom awaits for those that cry

Those that never ask or knew why

Yet claimed a home in the sky.

 

Can hearts really be changed?

The wicked seem to always survive

The consequences ruining our lives

The lies must die

 

For the Truth to be reborn

There must be trust in a home

Two’s always better than one

You shouldn’t be alone.

 

 ***

 

What the eyes see

And the ears hear

Will be repeated by the mouth

Like going North then turning South

 

Underneath the waterfall

Far below the eagle’s call

Rises the beauty in us all.

What will it take for us to pause.
