Silver light shines so bright, Reflects on your surface in a fight To blot out the blight Of oppressive night.
As it shimmers on the lake At night, it dances with shadows, fake In their adulation of your stake In everything that’s ensconced in black.
Its silver sheen is reminiscent Of the clouds’ silver lining that bent The impossible to their heaven sent Hope, that relies on faith not being absent.

The binary opposition symbols in life have Somewhat helped identify that you gave Thought to the ‘other’ by describing The ‘self’ through an opposing
Lense not unlike the way we divide Our characters with Yin and Yan hide The existence of otherness within That is masked and out of site, in a bin.
The tree of life is no different Then, the struggle within that’s bent On having ‘good’ win against ‘evil’, Knowing the oversimplification that’ll
Persuade the peridic nature of anger To cool with the calming breeze, paper, That hang onto the branches, safer, As emotions try to erode its beautifier
Of shades, hues of greens, pleasing To the eye, while knowing that changing From one state of emotion to another Is as fugacious as the flow of a timer
Set off too swiftly to linger On the abstinence of a greater Power that helps settle the struggle Making managing life easier than trouble.

Like the roots through which life Flows, fluctuates, and grows, flowers, Bushes, forests blossom with ease, protectors Of nature require no rewards in strife,
Drought, flood, or perfect weather, Kindness given without expectations Grows its own roots, foundations For the hereafter that require prayer,
Respect given without limits, Belief in the intangible, angels, Nature’s wonderment, peace fills Our hearts as we give and pits
Our disappointments against Harvesting morality’s seeds Granting Our harmony that pleads For compassion’s empathy, a breast
Shoulder you can rely on in the worst Times, for you’ve given freely And your reward comes in heavenly Support from all you’ve helped, the best
Conveyors of unrest, for they Request only your grain of kindness In a yield of pure emotion, bless The quay where you can rest every day.

On a baby blue sky day, the castle Enrobed in golden rays shining Off arched windows, bright ball Reflecting the lives, deaths that call
Out to the living, teaching wisdom From history etched on walls, There’s always a place and time For all around to learn and come
To conclusions that help the living Improve their plight by learning From history’s lessons without any whispering Of war or fight that has corpses lying
Out of sight. The whale statue adorning The outer walls, inviting, spontaneous warning: All to enter its domain, peering Into a long gone era of traversing
Centuries of wisdom runs into The Renaissance era of science That delves into all that’s tangible, a foe To faith that’s documented in books that grow
In importance, for the morals Within are a blessing for the intelligent, Who want to reduce their workload, calls Out that learning from experience isn’t a falls.
