Beauty Of Age

Beauty Of Age

By R.e. Taylor

Whether an object or a person

Most time age means ugly

It is hidden away

Locked into the darkness

But sometimes age reveals a beauty

Creating a new character

Which was never seen before

Try looking at age in a different way

Look past all of the stereotypes

And see what time and nature created

You may just be surprised

We Will Watch

We Will Watch

We have been watching you

Ever since you stood on two legs

We have taught you so much

Helped you build your world

We even became your gods

But you were different then

You lived with a kind of honor

You fought face to face

For reasons which you believed

Lying and theft were looked down on

And respect ruled the day

Now, you can lie, cheat and steal

You can kill a thousand miles away

And become a king among your people

There is no honor in your lives

That is not what we taught you

And we do not think that you even care

So, we will not be back for a long time

We will watch and we hope you will improve

Only then will you learn how to live

Only then will you fit into the universe

The Colors Will Dance

The Colors Will Dance

So many colors

Appearing just once a year

Dancing around

Singing a non-heard song

They are celebrated by many

Feared by many others

The blues of the skies

The greens of the grass

The fire of the fallen leaves

Showing the end of life

And the beginning of a sleep

Still, everyone knows

Life will return in a few months

The cycle will continue

And the colors will dance again

Give The Earth A Chance

Give The Earth A Chance

The world is ending

So, everybody says

Too many people

Breathing and living

Lunatics take to the street

Yelling and screaming

We have to do something

Yet, they are so, so wrong

The world is not ending

We are not going extinct

And everything will be fine

All you have to do is shut your mouth

Stop all your grandstanding

And give the Earth a chance

It can do more to heal itself

Than you could ever think of doing

Under The Stars

Under The Stars

By R.e. Taylor

Look up in the night sky

Try and find your stars

Whether it is the North Star

The Belt of the Hunter

Or the five stars of the Southern Cross

Know that the one you love

They are looking for the same stars

And when they find them

They will know the path to you

And know that your love

It will be real and blessed by Heaven

Loving Under The Stars

Loving Under The Stars

By R.e. Taylor

There have been so many nights

In a time when we were in love

I wished we could have found a hilltop

Laying together, just watching the stars

Maybe talking about our future

My waiting for just the perfect time to kiss you

And just the sounds of our beating heart

They should be the only things the stars needs

To know that I love you now

As I have loved you forever

If The Atoms Never Met

If The Atoms Never Met

Somewhere

Long before history

We all began as atoms

Single and floating

In a vacuum of new space

There were no colors

No religions

And no national borders

We were just the same

No differences

Just lonely atoms

It wasn’t until the atoms met

Came together and formed life

Hatred and prejudice were born

And we sank into our own hell

If only the atoms had never met

And space was still just a vacuum

How different the universe would be
