down to get low(Arnold Melleby, 07.04.2019)


you had your day
and night as well
broke a spell
and moved on
cut the cord
and never looked back

years went on by
you never returned a call
stacks of returned letters
was about all
there was
unanswered replies

now, that`s why you
became an oddity
a novelty
instead of a commodity
for your others
in life

so don`t you ever
dear to criticize
me
don`t you ever
dear to question
my values and beliefs
carved in all of the stones
found in my path

care to walk it?
you are more than welcome
all you have to do is show up
and I`ll take you all the way
and there`s a lesson
to be learned

to get down
you need to get low
