Leonard Dabydeen - This World

This world takes you under its protection
while the sun makes your talents shine
also grants you irresistible energy
to love and be loved
you become a compass guiding sunlight
showing direction among shadows of trees
Fall leaves still make bed in the parks
so colourful in gold and rustic bronze
but this is your moment
you light the world
with an aura of splendid moons
you want to spread Life
like wings of an eagle soaring high
and all you desire
is to enjoy all those who are present
with you and for you
yet sometimes keep silent
as if they are far away
in a distant dream.

Leonard Dabydeen
