            a common denominator in our being.

for observance of all and fully kept,

the handset snatched from dust laden

what a higher state needs to understand,

respite or remedy; a true safe home where

  Worlds ‘should’ be championed to the Cosmos.

no cloud, bright stars and quieted streets,

perhaps a beckoning Excalibur seeking that ‘one’ -

I thought that, I could fly too and -

when designed with you in mind, in heart,

   no span could never be breached,

no day did not have a sliver of light, at least.

I have put this up as a tribute to Mike Ladd and to inspire you as to how poetry to music can be very inspiring.
