mrs. jaded

loved a man whose passion

had faded away!

so she waited

for the day when the fire returned

but it never came



what she said to me:

love's like the seasons, remember

love's promised spring and summer

will melt away with December

....see for yourself



mr. vision

saw the future then found religion sacred

glitter-free salvation

took the patience of saints

so he cursed the time he wasted away



what he said was:

faith's like the flowing waters

a fierce and raging river

will calm and still in like weather



think for yourself, speak for yourself, see if

it's true

if it's true



just like the seasons, untender

life burns in spring and summer

but fades away like these embers



the world’s elusive, remember

where love's the leaf

faith, the river

what's born as flame dies in ember



see for yourself
