“Turn, turn, turn
Turn, turn, turn
The old poet sang a lullaby.
Sensual woman whispered to me once,
come live with me and be my lover.
I will be your salvation and you will be my rock to keep me steady.
Beautiful lady ambushed my heart and I learn her appetite for
kisses and embrace. Her charm and sovereign eyes made me blind
and with the wishes for more.
Real life lullabies rarely are perceived till too late.
Our heart and mind turn, turn and turn some more.
Love demand payment.
The chronicle of an forever love is like a willow tree.
We must be willing to flex and bend like free branches to keep the sovereign eyes,
bright, content and near.
Love bold, love behold, love dwell where two people hold tightly when the storms
of life is at hand.

Two of my favorites together: Judy Collins and “Turn, Turn, Turn”. Another lovely poem.

A beautiful poem! I had no idea this song was written after a Bible quote. It sounded familiar thus curious soul (me) clicked over to YouTube where I found the version by The Byrds. I was able to read the lyrics scrolling on beautiful backgrounds of flowers – beaches – seasons. I thought the tune may have been one from the TV series ‘Tour of Duty’ based on Vietnam War events that ran from 1987 to 1990.
