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
