Merited Spell
         - man can nay tell -

Man can nay tell
If life disregards,
Said merited spell
Save benign bard
Bids serene dwell
Despite ye regard,
That risk may well
Be placidly marred,
By set endured hell
Of invasive sounds,
Affirm be the knell
If ye maker ignores,
Beyond human intel
Ye having long past,
Find point of return
Will fix obtain cast,
Should merited spell 
Ne’er be meant to last,
Tho a man can nay tell!

“ The Big Ride ” ~ probing, eventuate by design ~

 

So many journeys

Taken in stride,

Till one then trips

To board that ride,

The biggest of all

We’re held to abide,

No taciturn choice

Needs one decide,

As set in advance

Be so the big ride…

 

Alas that big ride

Has a one-way tide,

No toll be owed

For use of this road,

No special dress

Or particular mode

Soul needs address,

For it to fulfil

What destiny fells,

As indicative knell                                                                           

Suggests the arrival,                                                                  

To nirvana or hell

Thus end of the line,

One can but now tell

Be the big ride’s design!
