In A Gadda Da Vida



Suck An Egg

through thoughts gives way to cadence
the prolific stance immeasurably quaint
oceanic personifications by a quaint village
gives rise to a sweet Irish blessing amidst frozen iglues
traverse messages hits home through the ambiance of love
love is the essence of my existence caught through the pattern in time
sharpen your arrows through the sky with pride
if you can't take the heat then suck an egg

the course that each must take make no mistake
one must have a heart saturated with love in order to stand the test of time
