The Marketplace Of Thought! Poem by Long Tooth

Don't I love who I'm open to - would share soul with (somehow in words -
in poetry, revealing me) ? Must I place worth on goods ‘vain' hawk
to earn a look? Let self-regard be life's canard! God Loves such cheer?
May I find wealth in other's health (I pray) , by Grace of God's intent,
not courted rhymes that plague our times, end freedom found in ‘Will of God'
(that lights all life) ! Oh, bless the ways God's muse serves days! Count that enough!

My labor's mark you think a lark (not worth fool's ink or up to snuff) ?
What you begrudge, I would not judge. I serve my truth! Is it so odd
that's what I'd share? Your truth is yours if it's just Coors (in lieu of rent) !
But rent's still due (my point of view!) I'm happy though to share a beer,
not make you wrong (to me, love's song!) reciprocate without a squawk.
Life shared's a chance to change the past, hoist sail up mast, view life like birds!

Poet's Notes:
Another poem with distant rhyme and note too that each line has an internal rhyme as well! What fun!
