Nothing is a cool hand,
This call is not for you.
Your luck hangs by a strand
Holding on to what is true.

Time tested, mother approved
A healthy prescription.
As the world moves, join in
We all fit the description.

What guides this so-called choice?
What values in it met?
Lifted up. Broken voice.
Love reigns beside the threat.

A wind of passing floats.
up and gently along.
The words swell the throat,
A once forgotten song.

O’er these treacherous walls,
Down the forbidden path,
Along once sacred halls.
In avoidance of this wrath.

Cringing and shaking heart,
Do not betray this mind.
It was such a good start,
This answer told in kind.

What matters sleepless thought?
Your deception fallen short
Hidden between what’s taught.
Left us without retort.

Sunshine fades your regret,
Basking and soaking skin,
Rewind our loveless set.
Changed the reel forgotten

What script is created thus?
The next act in shadow.
Hidden from even us.
All that’s left is trust.
