~ Poem the 1st Chap. Inspired Bye ~ Part #32
Such are these days-floating-along-the nantucket, picture-
frames of days gone by forever sublime in-my-
minds-eye ... reflected upon from time to time.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~ ... and oh how I live to breath this ... ~
~ Because I believe true-love is unconditional and is
the treasure so-very hard-to come by in this world,
today. Like the sweet sound of breaking the natural-
freedom-of-rhyme; and-the certain-reverence stirring
in-the spirit of a home that lives only for this; one pure
reason. Seen now-and-viewed in-the likeness-
of the-orange and red-brown and-yellow of-a-
joyous-leaf ... blowing-free-in-the-ease of
the wind; and knowing the sound of a
new hope rising-to-greet-the-greener-
grasses thriving amid-the-perfect-beauty
growing in-plain view of-the other-side of-
the morning. Stirring-in-the-depths-of-
your-heart and the-well, of your soul ...
riding-high-atop the puffy white clouds,
billowing-up-to-greet-the-light of-Heaven.
Yes-those wonderful things ... like the
birds chirping fondly and the gentle
sounds of a baby's laughter, and
slippery wet little kisses ... given-by-
the-lips-of an angel. As you-hear a
violent-shouting wake up; wake-
up-and-a-tap-tap-tapping, on
heavens bedroom door. As
then your awakened again ...
and then stumble to the
challenge of not spilling
the coffee, and you dance
once more with your lovely
daughter in the kitchen. As
she smiles as-you-spill-it-and-
yell-oh-no-tenderly and you ask
the wife if she could grab the
morning paper. Yes that freaky
tone of-a-squeaky-wet-balloon,
and the ongoing run-of happy-
little-giggles-that-fill the-air ...
rising to new heights in the
pool underneath-the-glory
of-the-summer-sun ... as your
young son splashes chlorine-water-
in-your face ... and cup. And-so-is-
love-the-prize in all its' authenticity.
Sweet-poetry ... . A true and-raw-
emotion ... boldly-running-and-
wildly shouting! "Hey!" ~
~ "Certain conditions-and-ultimatums are just fine, but-don't-you-dare-take my morning-coffee!" ~
