That’s Just the Way It’s Meant to Be
(Quatern)
That’s just the way it’s meant to be,
Like subtle flanks of gentle slopes,
That twist in curves its filigree,
Awaiting poet’s coming lopes.
Like smooth barked birch on twin hills stands,
That’s just the way it’s meant to be,
That begs the touch of graceful hands
To bring to bear its majesty.
A meadow opens easily
To show its gentle coursing brook,
That's just the way it’s meant to be
Those gentle banks that shield the crook.
The mountain splits the valley rills,
And drives its spire between the lees
Then buried in the valley’s hills,
That's just the way it’s meant to be.
That’s just the way it’s meant to be,
Like subtle flanks of gentle slopes,
That twist in curves its filigree,
Awaiting poet’s coming lopes.
Like smooth barked birch on twin hills stands,
That’s just the way it’s meant to be,
That begs the touch of graceful hands
To bring to bear its majesty.
A meadow opens easily
To show its gentle coursing brook,
That's just the way it’s meant to be
Those gentle banks that shield the crook.
The mountain splits the valley rills,
And drives its spire between the lees
Then buried in the valley’s hills,
That's just the way it’s meant to be.
