MY LIFE IN A SHELL

 MY LIFE IN A SHELL

I laughed a lot and shed a tear,

Felt some anger, felt some joy,

Turning from dreaded fear,

Looking back to me the boy.

 

Never had an earthly wife,

Yet for some I felt the Love,

Felt the bliss and felt the strife,

Down below and up above.

I climbed some mountains,

Kissed the sky,

Bathed in fountains,

And got high.

Walked some roads,

Went underground,

Sailed on Norfolk’s Broads

And listened to nature’s sweet sounds.

Drank some wine and Holy Water,

Took some drugs

When I thought I oughta,

Had some bumps and caught some bugs.

Gotten old and lost my teeth,

Slowing down upon the streets,

Daily seeking inner peace,

Look inside the thoughts to beat.

Life lies between two sturdy walls,

That breath keeps apart through grace,

Listening as divine light me calls,

As I rest within my space.
