Cloudy Waves

Little soldiers pass me by sometime near then far away  

Turning into cotton balls that tend to fade from memory

Melting night becoming day blessed sandy cloudy waves

Coursing life, caressing stances, long romantic loving glances

Humming home of warm exchanges execute perfected chances

A hello and then goodbye nest in these ancestral branches

Drumbeat strikes the shallow pond rippling to other places

Thought brings rock to rainbow shown in ancient phrase

Falling through the heavens now canopied in cloudy waves

Hands employed drawn out about set to tame the tide

Catapult the harrowed ride, birth to death and other side

Drink up now of mother’s love, dew, rain, in sunshine bright

Softly slowly goes the way of life bees blossoms honey strife

We go along our way so well children wife and knave

Angels softly watch on these wrapped up in cloudy waves

Breezes blanket meadows with sweetest scented nectar

While one by one each little poppy like a blessing of ardor

Embraced and taken to another, from the place it was before

Oh song of joy and sadness to thee we creatures are as slaves

Each cup that passes from vine to lips drinks up this crowd of days

Washes sun and moon away, tearing splendid stars above the cloudy waves
