Lifepoems

Step inside and wipe your brow
And take a moments shelter from the frost,
Tread softly on this dangerous ground,
You whove loved but never lost
Sit now down by the fire,
Rest your bones and drink your tea,
But its your ears I do desire,
For you have so much to learn from me
Although not old in years, granted,
I have forged quick a heavy heart,
Like a foolish blacksmith finished
Before he could ever truly start
Take heed of my example
Pioneered against my will,
Decreed though all things ample
One may never earn his fill
The old clich weaves its wisdom
Giving witness most sound of council,
Each christening his own kingdom
Though do not slow so much for careful
Come let me paint a place in your mind
Unnamed and proud to be so
Where those who live can only find
Emotions penned ageless years ago,
Those rejoicing to fill the prospect of gold,
Tend not to see beauty in the unspoken
Respect for the riches but not for the old
Leaves Philistines unknowingly heartbroken
Listen now,
We live only as long as it takes
A handful of aurulent dawns to break
All that I am asking of you
Is to tear down your walls and bask in a few
