Hero ©1990 DW GOLD
So you've finished like a hero - coming through the rain
Blood stained - battle scarred - ignoring your pain
Hands held high in victory - smiling ear to ear - you've
Chosen courage as your battle gear ..

Now the roar is deafening - the wildly cheering crowds
Have made themselves a lover's fool in heat - proudly
Paying lip service to you - my friend - who sits atop
The hill that vanity created for fools who like a thrill ..

Your words - your poetry (so called) - given insight from
On high or low as the case may be
Their effect is as water to a tree - when thirsty drinking
Deeply sending life throughout its branches ..

But should rottenness reside within - your watery words
Will only aid and and speed death's spread - you've heard
The birds singing your song - you are where you belong
Not vainly feeding rotting trees your everlasting water ..

They care not for life - but seek YOUR life - and pass on
Quickly for their emptiness is never filled - but long
For peace - and be happy that your hero's salute is never
Loud enough to cause envy to rise in your enemies' eyes ..

Should making it big ever happen - remember times of love
And light - when quietness gave truth from above
Hold on to gentle people - who are in deed rare - and hurry
Not to capture prizes offered by men - but be content within!
In Fact ©1990 DW GOLD
In light
No darkness exists
In love
No fear invades
In life
No joy without suffering
In time
All things come to pass
In truth
No lies conspire
In faith
No doubt - no worry
In patience
We possess our very souls
World Ahs ©1990 DW GOLD
Lightly falling snow
Blue skies with fluffy wisps
Emerald green grass - thick
Big yellow sunflowers
Nature's turn ons are solid colours ..

Flowing steams of cool mountain water
Burning sun-scorched desert wilderness
Large mountains filling space
With snow-white caps -
Nature's spectacles leave imprints ..

Long-limbed giraffes - hairy monkey-men
Silver-scaled sea life - flying wings
Minute scurrying bugs - and two-legged man
Nature's creatures are wide and various ..

Only two-legged man knows better
C'est la vie!
Cherry Picking ©1990 DW GOLD
No man makes himself (or woman!)
Our circumstances challenge
And test
And determine
Who we are
Our RESPONSES shape us ..

Don't be fooled -
Life IS a bowl of cherries
Filled with pits ..

However - picking - washing -
And eating cherries means
We try not to swallow pits ..

So pick your cherries as they ripen
And remember - every cherry
Has a pit
Journey ©1990 DW GOLD
Promises seldom arrive quickly
But test our faith
One promise will sustain life
Forever ..

However - this world never fulfills
Its promises
Dreams realized in truth
Are mileposts ..

Never forsake integrity -
It supports one's hope
Beautiful flowers lining the road
Should never be picked ..

Death waits in every shadow
