Boom
2/2/17
Stay tuned
For the soon to be boom
Between the sun and moon
And any flowers that do or don't bloom
During morning, night and afternoon
Lifeforms becoming unglued
Nobody is immune
Never assume
Acting like a buffoon
And being rude or lewd
Just because you think there may be doom
And are full of rue
So many different moods
Including gloom
Near and far from any lagoons
As well as any sand dunes
Leaves being pruned
And work getting called off or resumed
Among items old or new
Mass amounts of food
Being used and consumed
Angles, straight and skewed
While opportune chances loom
Leading to a possible boon
Or a crash that will or won't balloon
Among glyphs and runes
Before, during and after many monsoons
And any typhoons
Despite their being room
Among materials considered pure or crude
Beside folk and animals like baboons, caribou, kangaroo and racoons
Or anything else that does or doesn't use a cocoon
As time flies by and zooms
For me and you
Tombs and other areas becoming exhumed
Among locations with traces of toxic fumes
Which is just one example of why life is no cartoon
Meanwhile questions remain and answers elude
Across any longitude and latitude
At different altitudes
It's about time I turn it up to a higher notch of amplitude and magnitude
By using aptitude
As I continue to display gratitude
With no attitude
Towards changes that ensued
Where souls had swam and canoed
Below black skys and water light or dark blue
I'll tell you something true
At times I didn't know what exactly to do
Until I focused and looked at it with a different view
So that I could find the most efficient way through
What I may get into
While I continue
In lieu
Of not making moves
During any issues
I realize not everything has flesh and tissue
Near and far from areas with igloos
And buildings that teach martial arts such as judo and jujitsu
The end of this was written at six oh two
As the wind blew
Above a field with some plants having mildew
There was a film crew
Making the occasional miscue
During a scene involving the use of a didgeridoo
Different species of birds flew
As darkness grew
Closer then eventually drew
Many pursued
But only the skilled few
Were able to show and prove
While in or out of their groove
Before, during and after any rendevous
