Michael Degenhardt Poet Free verse

Afternoon Delight

This afternoon
I close my eyes to the day
See no longer the sunshine,
no longer the passersby
I hear however, the world
But then tune it out
What is left?
I am able to see and hear
Not of this world,
But of a different plane
A level where only love 
And peace wonderfully coexist
The beauty in that is 
That I am there and
You are there, too

Laurie Ginn February 13, 2009 at 4:56 AM The title captured my attention. Awhile back I was driving to youth group with 3 teenage boys singing SKYROCKETS IN FLIGHT AFTERNOON DELIGHTTTT at the top of our lungs when it occurred to me what we were singing about and I just about died. Filed it under Songs I dont wanna sing with my sons....This dear Michael is very tasetfully done and beautiful. smiless Laurie
