“ All Good Things ” ~ ne’er need end ~

 

Be too often penned,

That all good things

Must have an end,

Though I’ll dispute

Be desolate defend,

Of pliable compute

Serves but to fend,

Want bold resolve

Sufficient so to care,

Find place beyond

Fashions such its fare,

That all good things

Be an ne’er need end affair!

“ A Prayer ” ~ for nonbeliever ~

On a spiritual hold

Borne of believers

By traditional bold,

Be of meagre ethics

Held mystic of old,

Suggests invocation,

Said for nonbeliever

Be an offer of thanks,

In words that declare

An ever sober prayer…

Hence has us wonder

If sufficient be there,

Despite mans despair

For life giving water,

And breathable air!
