What'll it Be?

Cradled in Serendipity's arms
Lady Mirth has us in her hands,
never will you win every exchange;

Consequences and Choices Made are polar Gravity's
to draw avoidance's and rewards
while we smile from our attitudes;

let's hear you play your music,
what song will you sing?

Will it be shadows,
or light that you bring?

What'll it be?

With the dust of Iniquity's burdens
and the residue of Regrets,
covering any Grace you once possessed;

now you're plagued with the burden
of Positive Consistency,
for the collateral damaged left in your wake.

So, let's hear you play your music,
What tune will you play?

Will you cast shadows,
or spread light on everything?

What will it be?

Thank-you, my dearest Vicki....

...I'm happy to be your "lyrical coffee". I was just trying something different. But, you're very kind. Your comment is my last thought of the night. It's 1:30, here. Night. "Write on"! sincerely, #{:-{)}8==== docmaverick.

Dear Doc

Love reading your writes with a musical side. Shows how much you love music. Very soothing. A little like a rant, but also a sense of reality to this questioning poem. I hope it is not directed to anyone we know, please not me, lol. You are clever and you see things in life that sometimes we overlook and maybe take for granted. Nice one Doc. XX
