Tiny Birds

Tiny Birds

By Lord R.e. Taylor

I can hear you wings

Flittering through the leaves

Flashes of red between the green

And your soft song echoing in the air

You do make me wonder

Why do you always fly so low

Don't you wonder about the treetops

The highest branches you can see

Aren't you curious about the sky above

Or are you happy in your own little world

Without ever knowing what you are missing

His Golden Angel

 

His Golden Angel

By Lord R.e. Taylor

He knew her forever

Saw her in his thoughts and dreams

Always thinking she was perfect

A living piece of art

Carved from the finest ivory

Painted by a master artist

But he never saw her as stone or paint

She was covered in the purest gold

Flawless and beautiful

Just the kind of art he could admire

A perfect golden angel

The Shell Of Lady Liberty

The Shell Of Lady Liberty

By Lord R.e. Taylor

The world’s liberties are dying

Human rights are rotting in the trees

Maybe no one can see what’s happening

Or maybe they just do not care

Either way it is a damn shame

It should be criminal to be ignorant

Time has come for everyone to learn

To realize what the few are doing

Take the world back from the brink

And make Lady Liberty stand proud again

Instead of what she has become now

Just the empty shell of all lost hopes

And the promises which she always stood for

Your Ageless Beauty

Your Ageless Beauty

By Lord R.e. Taylor

No one knows your age

That is your very own secret

Now, there is a lot of talk about you

The beauty you were before

Some do not like your looks now

The say that you are old and ugly

Worn out and worthless

With ugly stains and wrinkles

But, I see behind all the trash they say

You already had the perfect beauty

Age has made you so much better

One of a kind with no equal

So, if you do not mind, I will admire you

And the ravishing beauty you have become

Travelling Through Realities

 

Travelling Through Realities

By Lord R.e. Taylor

So many worlds

In so many universes

In infinite realities

Some are paradises

Others are barren deserts

Still others cannot support life

All survive and orbit their stars

They exist because someone created them

Some wrote everything about them

Told their many stories

And created creatures which we understood

Those planets all still exist

All you have to do is open a book

It is all there for you to read

Just take the time and make the trip

You won’t regret it

A Universal Process

A Universal Process

By Lord R.e. Taylor

The sunshine follows the moonlight

A universal procedure

Created billions of years ago

It is so simple in its perfection

Nobody wanted to change it

So, it will continue forever

Because there is nothing better

Without You

Without You

By Lord R.e. Taylor

Together for years

Never a minute apart

But time took its toll

Illness took you away

Now I cannot know

How to be without you
