It strikes us all no matter what age
Those greenest and fresh, or wisest and sage
A curse and a blessing, a sickness or cure
So bitter, yet sweet, a honey liquor
An addiction? A pleasure? A compulsion? Or gift?
Can ground you, confound, you or set
you adrift.
This sweet delirium, that grows ever bold
A dance on a tightrope, eyes under blindfold
The extinction of doubts to the forefront of trust
A canvas recycled, so white under dust
Striking like lightening, or smooth as a breeze
Memories lay prostrate, captivating armies
Quenching parched hearts, dry as the sands
Paradise is renewed, a verdant grassland
This madness we wait for, this madness we fear
Exodus from genesis, so close a frontier
First step on the path, first knock on the door
It opens, you peek in....Clutch Love To the Core!
