A Sigh Is Never Just A Sigh

A sky without clouds is a meadow without flowers. - Thoreau

never assume

not of who but of whom

turn up the volume

stop living in a vacuum

get rid of the gloom and doom

do it in your room 'cuz there's no one in the tomb

crank it up good and loud

take off the shroud

stop acting proud

after all, there is a god

don't be afraid to dance and applaud

you never know when you'll be awed

gimme a second helping

go ahead, pile it high

that way i won't have to cry

trust me, i don't lie

as sure as tall city buildings scrape the sky

miniature pigs live in a sty

whilst the rhythms of musicians wave hello and goodbye

faith says we never have to die

you need two crusts plus filling for pie

just because

a sigh is never just a sigh

"Think for yourself, or others will think for you, without thinking of you." - Thoreau

This doubled like a great rhyming poem and a song. Some sigh before a date, others sigh when too late. Some cry for spilled milk, others sigh after a slice of pie.

If you play your cards right, and with a little luck, you can upgrade it to a moan.

"A sigh is never just a sigh" So very cool. I like that a lot.
