Still

Love
swings like a pendulum
awaiting the time
that it may ring
like a bird sings at the morn
so sings the pendulum on the wall

A mysterious rhyme
perhaps a riddle
comes forth from swinging pendulum
on the wall
a rhyme reveals
the verses deeply etched within a heart
the scripture of a soul
set apart

And though my focus there remains
my mind wanders from where it's been
escaping the gleaming tune
Like a bird sings i the early afternoon
so the pendulum on the wall sings to you
