Tainted

Understanding

By Gregory AndersonPublished 5 days ago 1 min read

The taint, the tinge, the stain

The circumference of life’s veracity remains

Oh how we awake as the day seems new

Our very breath is as fresh as the morning dew

We set our mind upon the framework of the day

A fix our mind upon the words we shall say

Whilst in our mind everything still seems new

Life like the bull trodding out what is real, what is true

Life tainted what once seemed fresh and new

Oh my how the tinge of time flys the pendulum swings from hello to goodbye

Fleeting time leaves a stain the fruit where hope once blossomed only memories remain

Give birth to what is real let us live life with zeal

For what resides within us no man can steal

Hold fast for even without sight

That which has been tainted can be resurrected in the light
