Levee
Margaret J Brown Dec 2012
My heart is a levee filled

I used to flow, till the levee filled
Bag by bag the levee filled
With sand and dirt the levee filled.

My heart is a levee filled

Opened and happy, till the levee filled
Naive and **** till the levee filled
All smiles and giggles till the levee filled.

My heart is a levee filled

I’m tears and grey when the levee filled.
Fake masks, and charades when the levee filled.
Wise and cold when the levee filled

My heart is a levee filled

Lonely and useless, cause the levees filled
Ugly and cruel cause the levee filles
Sick and twisted cause the levee filled

My heart is a levee filled
A life long lived is a life filled with nothing but emptiness,
A life well lived is a life filled with exotic wilderness.
A life complete is a life well nourished,
A life with love is a life filled with fresh water.
A life with joy s a life filled with intoxicating perfumes of fresh flowers,
A life filled with expeditions is a life filled with hope.
A life filled with hope is a life well lived,
A life filled with graciousness is a life filled with extravagances.
A life filled with mercy is a life filled with joy.
A life filled with extravagances is a life filled with expeditions.
A life filled with fresh water is a life filled with graciousness.
A life lived in an exotic wilderness is a life that is complete.
A life that is well nourished is a long life that is filled with fulfilment.
Life throws random things in our pathways but to appreciate the small things that are overlooked at times allows life to lived to brim.
