the cycle of life go on
see me clinging to a raindrops tail
being whipped nor‘east in a sailor’s gale
splash and running down the great blue whale
the cycle of life go on
spray coughing-up from ruddy seascape ledge
mist-witch blown down to precipice edge
scuttling back to join blue-white wave-surge wedge
the cycle of life go on
rent - sow - tend what ere on-earth you reap
sweet maze or standing bitter-barley deep
spent - it’s just your soul you keep
the cycle of life go on
two sons setting in the western sky
three daughters rising in their minders eye
nurture them so your progeny can fly
the cycle of life go on
cease the wishing - quell the want
convert vision to veracity - no need to vaunt
live thy dream - flaunt envy’s taunt
the cycle of life go on
love starts life or we would no be
love will sustain us through eternity
even every moment when joy seems gone to sea
the cycle of life go on

i see the world as one
i sense the conscience of the common man
i seize the moment as my spirit can
feel my soul - pink, black, or tan
i see the world as one
too-tall treetops are not beyond my reach
spewing-symbols were never meant to teach
mountain tops or ruddy surf-washed beach
i see the world as one
walk with me down a tortured path
yours or mine - we face life’s wrath
we can cry - run - or even stop to laugh
i see the world as one
trip-wires - pitfalls - and crystal chards
crawling-walking along each longest-yard
accepting our good though our souls are marred
i see the world as one
low-life lurking just to do us in
angles to the rescue - to the scum’s chagrin
in the end WE are making goodness win
i see the world as one
place two placards o’er my pauper’s grave
one with the name my loving mother gave
the other with the names of ones i helped save
i see the world as one
when i return i won’t be dressed in white
i’ll be an angel-helper on patrol at night
seeking those whose malice must be put right
i’ll see the world has won
before the rising sun
