What's Liable, and Who's Able?

Here's to

Breathing new life

And not trying

To force breath

Back into

Failed attempts

To recapture

Lost breath

I ask for

Nothing less

Than your attention

For a few moments

Please

Do

Feel free

To leave

If you find

The need

To seek

Brighter pastures

You know

I enjoy this shade

And it suits me

So well

You cannot deny

I deserve

A reply

When I call

Down to you

You'll be through

Worrying

Til the time comes
That forces one
To start

Scurrying

For shelter

As you know

It could be

Storming soon

Brewing rainbows

Stack

To unleash

The crack

Of lightning

Thunder rolls

On into

A new morning

Giving hope

To survivors

Calling out

To find life

Aware

Of the incredible

Forces

Controlling One

Free as the see

Flows

Through me

Lord knows

What you do

To me

They all see

So don't we

Have a moment

To sit together

You know

Sometimes I wish

We could both

Make one moment

Last forever

As you always know

It's because

We take

The time

That we so find

The treasure

So that we can

Enjoy it

Together

Always

And forever

I'll remember

The time we've spent

Together

Never mind

Weather

We can

Make it work

Well

Or better

Than indeed

It has been

For most folks

Working at things

Forgetting about

What they know

To be true

Why

Don't you

Look ever so

Stunning

In the

Evening light

Just thought

You might

Take a chance

Though you might

Lose your pants

Keep your hands

As your own

And you won't ever

Be alone

Again I tell you

I am

Here with you

Unless you want

To be alone

But I swear

I see the light

From your eyes

Weaving a rainbow

Halo

Around the moons

And don't you see

Those goons

Make me giggle

They can't really

Actually

Play the fiddle

Because they can't

Truly grasp

All those invisible

(Silver Strings)

Connecting

The linings

Underneath

The seams

Of that faulty old

Instrument

They can't handle

The strength

To dismantle

All these parts

Once thought broken

Were only left waiting

For salvage

So come now

Here's your chance

To enhance

And grant

Me one wish

Please-

Don't bother me with

Questions

About what you

Have missed

Just please

Enjoy

Your gift
