Country Road

Poem ... Country Road

Take me home
To that past
To that time
When friendships last

On that dirt road
Fields of white
Cotton to be picked
Banjos into the night

I miss those days
Please take me there
Old country road
To those I care

Expressways to nowhere
I shall not go
All those new things
Just for show

Those rolling hills
Those foggy days
Singing those songs
Of our caring ways

So on I go
To where I knew
This old country road
Back to the true

Our Dreams

Our Dreams

We say stop, stop, stop ,stop
They say no, no, no, no
Got money to make
Got places to go
Cough, cough, cough, cough
Dim light shows through
Vague building outlines
Our dreams we pursue

Rabid Poet

Delusion

Poem .... Delusion

Sweet Delusion
You make my life possible
You give me visions
Of what can be
You take those dire predictions
And scatter them like dust in the wind
You fill me with joy
And wash dread down the drain
Some call you spin
Some call you pretend
I call you friend

Winding Down

Poem ... Winding Down

More is more
By any other name
The chase we're on
This achievement game

But do we need
Those shiny things
Those got-to-haves
That achievement brings

Maybe slowing down
A thing to do
Collect less stuff
When day is through

But winding down
Reeks of old
Rocking chairs
Past stories told

It may appeal
To just a few
Cutting back
Don't buy the new

And does it matter
Any way
That total quiet
That ends our stay

Earth's rotation stops
No sunlight new
Stars disappear
Our time is through

Rabid Poet

The Unfolding

Here we are
On Christmas Eve
We have a mission
That we must believe

Other places
We could be
Other distractions
We could see

What is important
Our day to day
We are together
On Christmas day

Also together
The rest of the year
To make our lives better
To live without fear

Your obligations
Are exceedingly long
But won't last forever
With attitude strong

We won't try to fix it
This part of a dream
We live for each day
In a changing stream

Incognito

Poem ... Incognito

We pull the strings
Behind the scenes
Those attachments
That money brings

Elected they are
Appointed hangers on
Doing our bidding
Loving their throne

We can't be known
The money we dispense
Our faces hidden
Behind corporate fence

Supreme Court
Rends it's OK
For us to stay hidden
Directing this play

So all you commoners
Who think you are bright
We remain incognito
Well out of sight

If you desire
To know who we are
Follow the money trail
It goes very far

Rabid Poet

Circles

Poem ... Circles

Round and round we go
Giving chase to our foe
Gas to our engine flow
Crowds cheering for our show

From far away they drive
To sit there in the stands
Cooler by their side
Chicken legs in their hands

Liquid from some ancient time
Some ancient fern forest floor
Keeps us going round
Pedal to the the floor

What is our mission
What is our plot
Our chase in circles
Win or win not

And in the end
When chase is done
We accomplish nothing
What have we won

We left behind
Sky a little more gray
And then on Sunday
Let us win we pray

So we continue
Our need to win
Our life in circles
Extinction not a sin

Rabid Poet

We Mutate

Poem ... We Mutate

We push on
Through the years
With our laughter
And our tears

Toward a time
When we lost control
In our consumption
Our soul we sold

Into a time
When polutions reign
And the living adjusts
Among many insane

But up ahead
A different life
Mutations collect
Among the strife

New life forms
Take their turns
Among the wreckage
The humanity burns

But what of us
Mutation brings?
We become the Adapters
Pulling new strings

Rabid Poet

Consume For Today

Poem ... Consume For Today

We move forward
Like a witch on a broom
Chanting our fixes
As we approach our doom

Bubble, bubble
Stir the mixes
Of growth and greed
And our pretend fixes

Consume on
We sing our song
More things to buy
More places to belong

We stir the pot
The skies turn gray
We chant our denials
And turn away

But saying our chants
Things to be OK
Don't worry about tomorrow
Consume for today

Rabid Poet

The Barrier

Poem ... The Barrier

Understanding male dominance
So hard as I try
Nor female timidity
As time rushes by

Excuses are many
And denial the norm
Where are we going
With this gathering storm

This wall we created
So long and so tall
Can't reach understanding
Without a precipitous fall

We created abstractions
Of corporate belief
Scripted by leaders
With goals of a thief

I poke a hole
In that barrier create
It closes quickly
And so does our fate

So I have accepted
That barrier wall
Growth and consumption
The fate of us all

Rabid Poet

What Gods

Poem ... What Gods

There is the Sun
There is the Moon
Doing godly things
To make us swoon

There is the ocean
The deep blue sky
More godly things
Some question why

But wait
There is only one
Forget the Moon
Forget the Sun

Who decided that?
Can be only one!
Written in a book
Challenged by none

The Sun shines on
The Moon hangs in the sky
They shall forever be worshipped
As eons pass by

Rabid Poet

The Role

Poem ... The Role

We play this role
Of who to be
Of suits to wear

Of who to see

The Earth turns on
Complexities untold
Our numbers keep growing

Things to be sold

We can adapt
To changes we make
Block those Sun rays
Global Warming is fake

We have lives to live
New industries to be
More houses to build
So we can be free

Forget those college loans
Forget QE Two
Get more credit cards
They will see us through

The trees die out
So the waters rise
Nothing we can do
No big surprise

We will wear those suits
And do what we are told
So life can be good
As we gather our gold

Rabid Poet

Into the Light

Into the Light

With all my might
I seek the light
Beyond this darkness
Called human delight

I hear the cries
Of different eyes
Of furry ones
Saying goodbyes

Of endless lines
Of thing called car
Going nowhere
On endless tar

If I can see
A bit of light
Toward it will I go
To escape this night

Like a moth awaiting
That bit of light
That holds promises
Of meaningful flight

If that door is opened
And light streams in
This time is ending
And a new to begin

Rabid Poet

Arranging Reality

Poem ... Arranging Reality

To be or not to be
Is it what we see?
That interpretation
We create so carefully

Those things we were taught
Those things we were told
Will they stay with us?
Until we grow old

But if we choose
A different meme
One that we create
A reality dream

If we make it up
What we want it to be
It become a choice
Arranging reality

After all is said
After all is done
The reality we see
Is unique to each one

Rabid Poet

Change

Poem ... Change

Change is coming
No holding back
The old is fading
No longer on track

The new we fear
Hanging on to old
You be predictable
So we are told

But within that change
A new brightness shines
And things that we see
That brightness defines

We can't stop change
We must say goodbye
To things we are used to
The new we must try

As change happens
We must not dread
Freshness is coming
New visions in our head

We must praise them
Those things we have known
For the gifts they gave us
So that we may move on

Rabid Poet

Pleasing Game

Poem

Pleasing Game

Those you try to please
Will bring you to your knees
They will take your future
And put it in a squeeze

Stand your own ground
Go your own way
Give them a smile
And bid them good day

Their traps are set
For a new passerby
To take on more pleases
Their heads in the sky

Continue your path
And watch them dance
Trapped in their pleasing game
Life in a trance

Doom On

Doom On

Doom on, Doom on, we Doom on.
We peddle down the street
Looking for that special treat
Past vacant buildings we go
Past vacant buildings we go
We are Doomer Girls
Peddling our merry way
Scavenging things to show
Scavenging things to show
Doom on, Doom on, we Doom on

Into vacant buildings we break
Anything useful we take
Past vacant buildings we go
Past vacant buildings we go
We are Doomer Girls
Best tattoos they can make
Scavenging things to show
Scavenging things to show
Doom on, Doom on, we Doom on

Smirnoff here, Jack Daniels there
Bottles of liquid gold in our care
Past vacant buildings we go
Past vacant buildings we go
We are Doomer Girls
Into abandoned liquor stores
Scavenging things to show
Scavenging things to show
Doom on, Doom on, we Doom on

We see clouds of doom
Coming from every vacant room
Past vacant buildings we go
Past vacant buildings we go
We are Doomer Girls
Biking back to Doomerville
With scavenged things to show
With scavenged things to show
Doom on, Doom on, we Doom on

Poem by Rabid Poet

Memes of Extinction

Memes of Extinction
Twirling in my head
Visions of Comings
I totally dread

How did we get here
This ungodly place
Scenes of desolation
Now commonplace

Cities deserted
Except for a few
Living like rats
Their expectations now through

Could we have changed
Spiraling out of control
Not very likely
We lived as were told

Needing new houses
Needing new cars
Industry growth
Blocking the stars

I yearn for that silence
As we become few
And this Blue-Green Planet
Restarts anew.

One of Those Spells

Poem ... One of Those Spells

We rush on To uncertainty
Filling our time with unnecessity
Do we know where we go
Pretense that we show

There is no beginning
Nor is there an end
This stuff we make up
Part of pretend

We turn on the tube
To know how to live
What to consume
And to whom to give

And what does it matter
The things that they say
What did we learn
To fill in the day

What did we learn here
Where knowledge excels
Not a damn thing
Having one of those spells

Dark Poems
Rising Rabid Poet

The Glass

The Glass

There is a glass
Between me and reality
I fly against that unseen
With all possibilty

I see it clearly
Where I want to be
But there is solidity
Between it and me

How I got here
Haven't a clue
Someone opened a door
And in I flew

How much longer
Can I fly against this glass
Until my wings are broken
And I breathe my last

Wait, the door just opened
Into fresh air I fly
To land on a flower
In my own way to cry

Blind

Poem ... Blind

No more trucks
On highways rumble
Only weeds
Across them tumble

Grass growing in cracks
Patterns extending in sight
Once endless cars
Now nature's delight

Vines on bridges
Hairy remnants of the past
A reminder to survivors
Their way could not last

Vacant skyscrapers
Why are they there?
Not understood
Nor do they care

Not many left
Of the human kind
They ran their course
As if they were blind

Dark Poems Rising
Rabid Poet

To Be Or Not To Be

Poem ...To Be Or Not To Be

To be what we want
And have what we see
We fit in the crowd
With wealth soon to be

Will it last
Our place in the crowd
Or go silent
And fade like a cloud

Do our deeds
Bring on the rain?
The planet getting hotter
Life existing in pain

But looking out
Things seem OK
Life seems normal
This pleasant day

We talk to others
They see the same
Life seems good
As we play the game

There are things
We choose not to see
Moving toward extinction
To be or not to be

Dark Poems Rising

Flee From Reality

Poem ... Flee From Reality

We watch the tube
Smartphone in hand
Texting simplicities
Throughout the land

Where should we go
What should we do
What should we wear
To keep up with new

Who sang that song
Making us blue
Things going asunder
Soon we are through

Try out that new car
That will drive on it's own
Just type in location
And sit on your throne

And very soon
As insanity sets in
We fall down a rabbit hole
Our dream to begin

Dark Poems Rising
Rabid Poet

What If

Poem ... What If

What if the Sun doesn't rise
And a dark journey I take
Did I do my best for her
Did true friendship I make

Will her world be better
For Things that were done
And she will carry on
Even though she is one

So it may happen
If this is that last day
And no more sunrises
She going her own way

My greatest wish
If my time is through
That I gave her joy
And sad times are few.

Complexities

Poem ... Complexities

It seems so simple
Things that we do
Well thought out
So we pursue

They become complexities
The harder we push
But we must pursue them
And join in the rush

Some see challenges
Others see wealth
Far from simplicity
Affecting our health

Getting back to simple
Is not easy to do
In a hurricane of complexity
Pursuing the new

There is no answer
To this complexity game
When simple and complex
Are exactly the same

Dark Poems Rising
Rabid Poet

Layers of Reality

Poem ... Layers of Reality

What we see
Can only be
An interpretation
Of layers of Reality

What was seen
In the past
A different view
Which couldn't last

We peel back the profound
And declare it is through
And soon it is meaningless
The next one we pursue

Is there a Reality
Not slipping away
One to hold on to
At least for today

But that is a wish
That we can't do
Holding a reality
While embracing the new

Dark Poems Rising
Rabid Poet

Pretend

Poem ... Pretend

We chased our dream
With blindfolds on
We are humans
Ruling on our throne

Dig it up
Apply some heat
Make it shiny
Drive it down the street

Peer into outer space
What do we see
Do we make it up?
These theories that be

And who are we?
And why are we here?
Answers avoid us
Reality we fear

Can we hear that question?
Through noises we fear
Is the end near us?
We pretend not to hear

Rabid Poet
Dark Poems Rising

I Tossed a Poem

I tossed a poem

I tossed a poem
Into the air
And it landed
I know not where

It spoke of things
Yet to be
To get prepared
For Change to see

Was it caught
By winds of dread
Landing in ocean
Never to be read

Will it land on city streets
Carried on local news
Read by international reporters
And spoken of their views

Will this poem save us
Twirling in our head
Or too late it was written
Or too late it was read

Endless

Poem ... Endless

What is forever?
That endless note
Searching for meaning
And meaning is rote

That endless keyboard
Song without end
Circling the stars
No meaning to rend

This reality
That seems so long
A note in the forever
In this endless song

Our Brilliance

Poem ... Our Brilliance

It seems brilliant
This path we chose
Worshipping our inventions
As life starts to close

But we can fix it
The inventors scream
As ocean levels rise
Jerking awake from this dream

They are large in numbers
Those who play on
Denying the signs
Refusing to atone

But now our brilliance
Seems more like a scheme
To extract all we can
And dump for downstream

We stand on a mountain
Surveying all that we do
And look at our brilliance
As our numbers become few

Sky Cloud Painter

Poem ...Sky Cloud Painter

I left a galaxy
Far far away
To be here on Earth
To brighten the day

To paint sky clouds
Moving through
White ones, dark ones
Some with varying hue

My presence isn't seen
Being too large to view
But I am sky cloud painter
Painting clouds for you

I could return
To the galaxy I knew
But so many clouds to paint
To fill in this blue

I know you will not sense me
My presence can't be known
So I will keep on painting sky clouds
Their beauty to be shown

Reality Dream

Poem ... Reality Dream

Moving toward that time
When dim vision we see
And distant thunder
A prediction to be

When wishing for change
And pretending it so
Rubbing sleep from our eyes
Will reality show?

But will we awaken
Or continue this dream
Visions not understood
Disturbing they seem

If we could awaken
And see what to do
Life could continue
Extinctions could be few

But we will continue
Our consumption scheme
And life moves toward darkness
In this reality dream

Dream Thoughts

Poem .... Dream thoughts

Is it a dream
Or perhaps a scheme
Chasing fears
Only to find tears

Pushing symbols
To the extreme
Places never been
People never seen

Who wrote the script
Of what makes no sense
It wasn't me
I make no pretense

But here I am
In a weird play
I try to awaken
But here I stay

Think

Poem ... Think

We like to think
That we are unique
Going through the day
Doing things their way

But there are strings
Tied to our soul
Directing a path
Largely what's told

What should we say
What should we do
Turn on the tube
Do what they ensue

What out there suffers
It's life for our meal
Crowded into our enclosures
No freedom to feel

We move on erringly
Dancing to their strings
Following their examples
Buying their things

How do we find
that path to our soul?
To discover our reality
And move beyond what's told

Earth keeps on spinning
Stars continue to blink
Will we awaken
To a new world of Think?

Extinction Dream

Poem ... Extinction Dream

Is it a dream
Trying to escape
To remain a dream
Not to awake

The dream moves on
Not making sense
I try to awaken
To call it pretense

Cities flooding, forests burning
Please become awake
Tossing and turning
Does not reality make

But a dream this may not be
Reality is bizarre
Were we the cause of this?
Our reaching too far?

Oceans turning acid
Bleaching life away
And we keep on driving
Wishing it at bay

I know that I am sleeping
It surely can only seem
No way we caused this
Extinction is just a dream

There Were

Poem ... There were

There were cars
Clogging city street
Vacant buildings now
Silence the new beat

There were highways
Traveling far
Covered in weeds now
Occasional rusted car

There were planes
Thunder passing by
No more white streaks
Our writings in the sky

There were lovers
Finger tips to touch
Whispers turned to silence
Arms no longer clutch

There were deep green forests
Enriching moistened air
Now just dusty soils
No life we are aware

There were clouds and storms
Bringing life into the Day
But we have changed all that
Since we had our way

Rabid Poet
Dark Poems Rising

Humanity's Last Show

Poem ... Humanity's last Show

Where will it go
Humanity's last show
Seeking some conscious level
Expressions no more

Writings on some wall
Saying this is all
Are there misunderstandings
Amidst voices that were tall

Truths and untruths
A scramble of unseen
The Beast lurches on
Shoutings of unclean

So where to now
What Universe unseen
As we struggle along
To appease the Machine

Spaceship Humanity

Poem ... Spaceship Humanity

We twirl on this blue-green planet
Circling a magnificent Sun
Drilling holes in this thin mantel 
On that black gold our engines run

Our exponential assertions
Pushed beyond what is real
Patting each other's backs
Expansion is our zeal

Don't like global warming?
Put some glitter in the air
Paint everything white
To show how much we care

Don't like flooded cities?
Vacate lower floors
Use boats instead of cars
Docking at the doors

We know we have solutions
Nothing for us to fear
We just keep on growing
Choosing what to hear

The engines of Spaceship Humanity
Know only one way
And this Blue-Green Planet
Says we cannot stay

Arranged Reality

Poem ... Arranged Reality

Do we know
What they show
Arranged to their needs
Parts in their show

It seems so real
Has always been
We play their game
they always win

Suppose we change
A new way to see
A new way to think
A new way to be

Who we become
A new way to be
A new person inside
An arranged reality

Dark Poems Rising

Poem .... Dark Poems Rising

Bubbling up
From depths of despair
Dark poems surface
Filling the air

Saying those things
That must be said
Opening reality
Blocked from our head

The air getting hotter
Oceans on the rise
Our foolish emissions
Now filling the skies

Will they listen
As poems have their say
Or keep pushing forward
Toward their last day

These dark poems rising
Will touch hearts of some
And make their souls brighter
For those days to come

Never to Restart

Poem .... Never to Restart

Those things
To which our Ego clings
Shiny things we drive
Making us feel alive

Layers upon layers
Of cultural greed
Piles of stuff
Little that we need

Life becomes a veneer
Defining the day
Waiting to speak our part
Expectation of The Play

Dare we forget
And stumble with rage
The audience annoyed
As we're pulled backstage

So The Play goes on
Actors speaking their part
And our World degrades
Never to restart

Her Beauty

Poem .... Her Beauty

When I see her
Beauty I discover
Like a good book
A picture on the cover

But even better
With certain pride
More beauty unfolds
From pages inside

Shades of Reality

Poem .... Shades of Reality

Is it real
That vision I see
Or simply made up
For what I want to be

Was it a movie
Or a nightly dream
How can I be sure
A reality to seem

That cup of java
I sip in my dreams
It seems so real
Wakeful it seems

Is anything real
Or actors in a play
Borrowing time
For just one more day

Future is cast

Poem ... Future is cast

No lights
To turn on
No government
To lean on
Highways deserted
Except for weeds
No church bells ringing
Doing their good deeds
Tattoos now showing
Doomer images all new
Accepting the knowing
Beings soon to be few
Facing each day
As though it's the last
Past thoughtless actions
The future is cast

Today's Espresso

Poem .... Today's Espresso

Hot cup in hands
Espresso in sips
This day has begun
Adventurist trips

Touch of hot cup
To my finger tips
Blowing black liquid
To cool for my lips

If there's a heaven
When I move on
Pray be a coffee house
For me to atone

Releasing Abstractions

Poem .... Releasing Abstractions

It is the unknowns
That we must face
That cloudy vision
In this world of haste

We cling to the past
And try to hold on
When deep inside
We know it is gone

This image of courage
We try to display
Like an aura of knowing
The next coming day

And then we stop
And experience the Now
Releasing those abstractions
With a graceful bow

But Not Today

Poem .... But Not Today

It will happen
But not today
When words are spoken
Of yesterday

Those times as one
We looked ahead
Our separate worlds
Not yet to dread

Still it will come
It's on the way
We drift to the stars
But not today

Our minds hold tight
Those words in our heart
As days slip past
This journey we chart

That feeling we know
Is heading our way
Of walking alone
But not today

Back Through the Years

Poem ... Back Through the Years

Looking back through the years
The laughter and the tears
The grandiose plans
The tiny little fears

It seems so simple now
Just speak the truth
And breathe fresh air
Avoid the aloof

But it was written
Each word we spoke
Seemed so serious
Played out as a joke

I look at blue sky
And bird in song
And know we're together
Moving right along

Those years are gone
In memory still
To guide our journey
Our joy to fulfill

Dancing to the $

Poem

Dancing to the $

Where to go
What to do
When they say
Old soft shoe

Buy this
Use that
You look good
In new hat

Can't see beyond
Driving new car
With that new money
We go far

Printing, printing
Money press
It is our God
That we must bless

No longer Belong

Crow flying
Into the mist
Chanting these words
You will not be missed

Whale singing
Into the blue
Not much longer
Your days are through

Wolf howling
A wolfish song
Your dominance on Earth
Won't be here long

Did they love us
Those we possessed
Not very likely
The way we transgressed

So they will be
Singing their song
Words getting louder
Humans no longer belong

Purples and Reds

Poem .... Purples and Reds

Standing there
In a purple mist
Shadows dark red
Trying to resist

But fruitless this day
As bats flitter by
A howl through the woods
A darkening of the sky

You can feel it coming
Adorned in black cape
White boned hands grasping
No way to escape

A ray of light
Starts peaking through
Dissolving purples and reds
Starting life anew

Was it in my mind
That figure of dread
Walking with staff
And white boned head

That day will come
And oh so soon
With purples and reds
And howling at the moon

Live Life Anew

Poem .... Live Life Anew

Circle within a circle
Wheel within a wheel
Purple spiraling outward
Spewing spots of teal

Ending just beginning
Night turning to day
Was my thought just beginning
Black turning to Gray

Will it be a prediction
Or just what they say
Is it here forever
Or will just go away

I reach for understanding
But it changes hue
I want it coloured purple
It comes out coloured blue

Change is not prediction
And knowing is not true
Let go of having answers
And live your life anew

Also the Moon

Poem .... Also the Moon

We play this game
That leads to shame
Never ending
Always spending

Mother Earth
A resource heap
To make new things
Things not to keep

She keeps on turning
We keep on yearning
Out to the Future
We keep on burning

But time will come
And oh so soon
When trees we'll miss
And also the Moon

Growth

Denier Poem ..... Growth

Not to worry
Not to fret
Global Warming?
Not here yet!

Go to college
Get a degree
Plenty of time
Just wait and see

Don't listen to Doomers
And their wasted fears
We're just fine
For untold years

The oceans are cooling
It's a natural thing
Keep right on spending
Growth it will bring

Images of You

Poem ...Images of you

Cardboard skies
Of blue and gray
Purple streaks punctuating
All coming my way

Gold leaves drifting
Past rivers of blue
Heavens open up
With images of you

The Painting

Poem .... The Painting

Purple splashes
Playing in my head
Velvet cloaks
Lined in red

Brush poised in hand
Just dipped in gold
Awaiting that impulse
From artist of old

That classical render
That King of old
That suit of armor
That chest of gold

Tis but a painting
A story now told
A tale of royalty
From days of old

Blindfolds

Poem...Blindfolds

We rush toward extinction
Blindfolds in place
Doing what they tell us
Build a new place

The money is flowing
Green creek is rising
No need to worry
Nor accept chastising

What is that sound
It could be a bird
But they are gone now
Never to be heard

Oh well gotta go
More spending to do
More things to buy
Before extinctions ensue

Familiar Days

Poem .... Familiar Days

Life speeds away
An alarming pace
Days repeating
Same time, same place

Been here before
Looking for new
All so familiar
All playing through

Like an old projector
That scene it replays
You want to move on
You want new days

But the projectionist
Is not to be found
And our lives
Keep coming round

It is comforting
In odd sort of ways
That life keeps repeating
Those same familiar days

Intention

Poem .... Intention

My intention
rushes downhill
like a snowball
gathering consequences
I must carry
will it hit a tree
and fall apart
or cover
a whole village

The Cake

Poem ..... The Cake

I bake this cake
Of plans I make
Of distant desires
I can't placate

The oven is ready
But I am not
Ingredients scattered
Use pan or pot?

I pull together
My unfocused soul
Turn on the mixer
Stare into the bowl

Will it happen?
This cake to be
Time will tell
Must wait to see

Nothing Left

We fret over it
That image on the tube
Spouting out daily travesties
Prepping for advertising interlude

Will the World end?
Our exhaust pipes will tell
Dead fish on the shore
Just one more smell

But we can be grateful
Deniers abound
To add in humor
To the quiet coming round

Soon the screen will be blank
And no tear left to shed
Buildings all vacant
Nothing left to dread

Silent Spring

Poem ...Silent Spring

It is Spring
Leaves are brown
Dead bees litter the ground

I dig for roots
To save the day
For a short time anyway

Never thought

Rachel Carson's Silent Spring

Suppose

Poem...Suppose

Suppose there is no tomorrow
Not another day to borrow
Death like a thief in the night
Leaving you with sorrow

Did I do my best to love you
And when the day is through
Will your days continue brightly
Will our love continue true

The World continues turning
And skies continue blue
Just know how much I love you
When this  time on Earth is through
