Something To Say

I’ve got something to say Something so graceful It would put a flowing white river to shame Those who disagree with what I have to say I blame, for the state that the worlds in I’ve got something to say Something as profound as the way a man like Emerson or Tennyson can grace a notebook with his pen As poetic as the myriad of sounds echoing from the majestic redwood tree Something as truthful as an intoxicated man out of his mind Something as blunt as a bayonet from the days of the civil war Weathered away by the sands of time Found buried under mounds and mounds of dirt and grime A couple hundred feet deep in the soil I’ve got something to say that holds thicker than oil Will keep a person warmer the foil Or even keep them loyal Like a crew member to their captain Or even a cheap store owner to his manikin Love all people, is what I have to say Because love is as poetic as birds that ring out in may As breathtaking as the sky in its transformation from night to day That one word is something that all people say But not something all people mean The love that we show to all should not be something seen only in a dream Or whispered between the lips of two teens But something that is lived Something ever so slightly woven into the seams of our being that we forget it is even there. Love is what I got to say for now and forever.
