Light And Vanity

The Colorful Quiet
with respect to those
who dwell on top of the mountain
I will hold my hand down
until I'm further questioned
it is not my intent
to mix up men and ladies
who would rather
talk to themselves
than find a friend
I can no longer
leave a dying fire unattended
it is not for light
I just need more heat
in my discussions
I will never
let beauty go unnoticed
it has nothing to do with vanity
I just like pretty things
with respect to those
who live down in the valley
I will hold my hand down
until I'm further questioned
it is not my intent
to mix up men and ladies
who would rather
keep to themselves
than be a friend
they keep to themselves
then rather be a friend
