A Funny Story

A funny story

Clouds

a world inside thought
the inner  self most often sought
peace that comes from wars fought
part of wo- and man that can't be bought

Dream

upon a hillside of 
peaches and cream 
all mountains float over 
a valley green
all the people in 
a happy scene
living by 
a spouting stream

Within

science still looks for
but cannot find
any piece of a person
that is the mind
strings of DNA twist AND wind
directed to a street-less sign where a
life of  truths will be told
by the young who 
remember the old and
don't think we should be so bold
the punch line belongs to
the Creator

I like this type of imagination. Feels like midwest summer 80 degrees an 92% humidity. Under a shady tree next to the stream sipping an ice tea.

Thank you for your comments under that tree would be a nice place to write
