February 19, 2007 |
I leapt upon a comets tail
Then soared beyond the sun
To find a life of consequence
Before my own was done
My trip was most remarkable
Traversing history
T’was there I found so many souls
Who met and greeted me
David from the Testament
Goliath he had slain
And Shakespeare of great Sonnet verse
His words knew no refrain
A man named Einstein did appear
No intellect compared
John Paul who knew of only love
And often he it shared
I met there too great Presidents
Who freedom did aspire
And Jesus Christ upon the cross
When his life did expire
Mary Mother, Mary whore
Both touched upon my soul
Czars and Kings and patriots
On whom war took its toll
I searched for individuals
Who must have found their way
Hoping that from them Id learn
Just how to truly pray
My comet touched this universe
Each planet and each star
And then at last I recognized
I needn’t go that far
For just beyond my windowsill
Was beauty uncompared
And people of simplicity
That life had not ensnared
They always lived to love each day
Accepting all that came
And who on earth does need much more
To live life’s precious game | | © 2007 David Devaney |
