Poem
i took her riding this time my venue, not hers she loves horses, i am no equestrian i am beyond saddle sore now trail rides where every bird is identified a short illumination of the species mine are in this little park where we would steal away paddle boats thru the geese and ducks she would always pack up bread i always gave her enough notice so she could buy the better bread the day-old the bakery dumps cheap it is healthier she will tell you i always considered myself educated until i found her lips Robison Crusoe washed ashore an island of magical moments an oeuvre in my captivated heart my magic is in the carousel horses that go round and round back in line to do it again holding onto the bar i lean in to steal a kiss, keep her in laughter as the music and horses dance in a wonderland the Wurlitzer organ fills the air with a bewitchment we join parents and children in the magic later we retire upon a bench from her bag appears our humble offerings every morsel approved by the minister of health every grain is explained by lips i so adore the ducks and geese beg at our feet she delights in each morsel she throws the happiness she wears on her face i see Mother Goose in the crowd approving drakes and hens galore with ducklings the beauty of joy fills her eyes to love her is to share her caged birds are a sad lot such a small price to pay ride the carousel hand in hand the alchemy in whirling horses and music from an age long gone now my treasure, a moment all to myself with her to dwell in the magic of sharing loaves those adoring eyes watching her are a chorus i share the bird of paradise has no price master of her every dream that is the labor of love surrounding those dreams with the magic life holds 3/2/19 Lufkin
