What then



Then nights made way
For mornings
Me in my disbelief
Devalued by current
Conditions
Factors from what we
Choose to believe
Oh morning sun
Warm me as an example
Who's shadows must
I stand in to sort
These samples
Echos of evening find me
That she wishes to be
Bare before me
Barriers of fashion speak
Than I knowest she wishes
To love me
When we are in the fullest
Of agreement
I have no tensions and can
Rest
Those times when she makes
Villian of me
I stand a man unworthy
Unable to pass her test
Feastive are the gatherings
Might the spirt of love overwhelm
Love is our Captain
Might love take the helm
