No Need
Trenchant hopes need no wings
No tiny lift from gossamer strings
No push from breeze, oh so fair
No rise from spirals of warming air
Trenchant hopes need no wings
Truest love needs not tied down
No chain to hold or wanting bound
No pull from a given gravity
No chance for real unless it’s free
Truest love needs not tied down
Trepid heart needs no sturdy wall
No sheltered life, no fear at all
No hiding from the brilliant life
No barrier to the loving light
Timid heart needs no sturdy wall
Translucent dreams need no sleep
No shuttered eyes to vision keep
No boundaries and no given rules
No logic as the wonder unspools
Translucent dreams need no sleep
Truthful words need no reason
No better time or perfect season
No bad in what’s spoken honestly
No reward unless said modestly
Truthful words need no reason
Troubled times need no ink
No sickly sip from the bitter drink
No purpose to be remembered well
No greater story for them to tell
Troubled times need no ink
Trusted friends need no praise
No thought of what kindness pays
No limit to what they can afford
No need saved you as their reward
Trusted friends need no praise

Yours
G.
