The Undertone

1

Bellowing rhyme

Breath to the flame

Harrowing time

No death for our name

Celebration of life

Crackling branches’ doom

No concentration on strife

Or for disagreement, sulk and fume

*

Awake to the sea and fire in the sky

Land full of vital forests fading fast

Pray for rain

Living pyres, on Earth quickly die

Suddenly the sea rises

Quells life’s blazing blasts

2

Come what may

Seize the day

Make our way

To centre stage

Can’t refuse

Social cues

Still we choose

Our own sage

Never standing all alone

Never leaving Earth our home

Have no fear

Show the rest

Each day cheers

Kindness best

Find the mindset to reach the zone

Where deep-seated comfort’s known

Strong as a rollng stone

Lightening, the undertone

3

Harvesting words

Top of our claim

Hardest thing heard

Propels us to fame

Actualization of life

Branches weighed down soon

Cutting edge of the knife

A history bent, Spoon to consume

*

Awake to our need, Inspired to get by

Plate full of vital chorus raises fast

And fills again

Heavenly choir

Star-birth season high

Sudden cloud rises

And stalls life dreams, so vast

4

Come what may

Seize the day

Make our way

Out of the cage

Don’t refuse

Social cues

But we choose

Our own stage

Never standing all alone

Daily leaving Earth our home

Have no fear

Show the rest

Each day here

Health we test

Find the mindset to reach the zone

Where deep-seated comfort’s known

Strong as we become known

Inviting the undertone

5

The farthest from the truth

And from our space here

Is a moment away

Clearly

In the universal mirror

Look into our seasons

Don’t change our mind

Release the chains of future fear

Put everything into the day, and year and time

Turn over a new leaf

Pay attention to any colour

Be sure to let the good times roll

And work hard for every other

6

Reciting ritual

Breath to the same

Igniting habitual

Routine to keep us sane

Weaving magic of life

Doubting branches loom

No hesitation to new sight

Or miss a dream, Sent by the moon

Awake to freedom higher than the sky

Days full of Vital shores, So wade fast

Hours wane

Life dire on Earth, Let’s ask why

Sudden question rises

A spell, for life’s answers cast

7

Come what may

Seize the day

Make our way

To a fair wage

Won’t refuse

Social cues

We must choose

A new page

Never standing all alone

Never leaving work, our home

Have no fear

Show the rest

Each day clear

Hot off the press

Find the mindset to reach the zone

Where deep-seated comfort’s known

Strong as a body’s bone

Black and white the undertone

8

The closest to the truth

In all space far and near

Each moment we live

Clearly

In the universal gears

Look into our reason

You may change your mind

Release the chains of future fear

Put effort into the day, and year and time

Turn over a new engine

Pay attention to Any make and model

Work to get good times rolling

And if it’s best for the world:

Be sure to hit full throttle
