THE GLEE OF ME

© 2008 A. Miles

for Helene, because she asked

When asked by a friend to tell her of me

beyond the life allowed to see

In matter of fact tone and resolute as can be

I affirm, I am silly with confidence and glee

That is who I am just silly as can be,

drunk on the life that was given to me

Now there is a serious side with right to be,

embraced by calm for it’s my light to see

together as one, in defiant harmony

serious and silly the life purpose of me.
