Sweet Emotion

Hear the subtle sounds of the night
They express the emotion of a fight
That rages among the the flowers in dim light

See the waving of feathers upon high
Flapping in the wind and uttering a sigh
We wonder about the reason why

Feel the cool wind on a hot day
The sweat that runs down will say
That we must on a soft earth lay

We believe what we often see
But it has the weight of a buzzing bee
The emotion swirls in the leaves of tea

Living in the early days of life
And the struggles of a social fife
Are paid for by the mother wife

Live for the time of now
Because we never know how
We will pay it to the sacred cow
