Reading my poetry and then going to listen to some others, I’m struck by how simple some of them are, and then again some are also complex, as my favorite poem John Lennon’s Across The Universe, which many prolific writers have said was the best poem of the 20th century…. regardless, here a couple that came to mind.
Through The Morning Through The Night
Robert Plant/Alison Krauss performed/Gene Clark written
Believe me when I tell you
I will try to understand
Believe me when I tell you
I could never kill a man
But to know that another man’s holding you tight
Hurts me, little darling
Thru the morning thru the night
The bond has been broken
The promise you gave
The words that were spoken
I can not be your slave
But to know that the trust you had in me is gone
Hurts me, little darling
Thru the nightime thru the dawn
I dreamed just last night you were there by my side
Your sweet loving tenderness
Easing my pride
But then I awoke and found you not there
It was just my old memory of how much I care
Believe me when I tell you
I will try to understand
Believe me when I tell you
I could never kill a man
But to know that another man’s holding you tight
Hurts me little, darling
Thru the morning thru the night
They slither while they pass, they slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my open mind,
Possessing and caressing me.
Jai guru de va om
Nothing’s gonna change my world,
Nothing’s gonna change my world.Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes,
That call me on and on across the universe,
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box they
Tumble blindly as they make their way
Across the universe
Jai guru de va om
Nothing’s gonna change my world,
Nothing’s gonna change my world.
Sounds of laughter shades of earth are ringing
Through my open views inviting and inciting me
Limitless undying love which shines around me like a
Million suns, it calls me on and on
Across the universe
Jai guru de va om
Nothing’s gonna change my world,
Nothing’s gonna change my world.
