Enthusiasm

For Sotto Poet's E Words Contest 17 June 24 ----------------- "Enthusiasm is nothing more or less than faith in action" -- Henry Chester I cling to reveries of youth, the tender sentiment of plucking words from summer roots, That in my journal hours when the red of skies are agleam...phrases extend long long as straw. I burn language the way one does in a flamed trance--amused, enthused, seduced-- reeling into a daze beneath a new moon, a blur of penciled happenstance flapping like a winged feather on river of late afternoons. I would still scribble in hay where syllables grow into racy tunes , my faith abiding in passion deep... And I could not help myself but drown my hands in raw and humid lines; Bury my eyes deep in verses' jammed. I'm loathed to leave my untamed story when twilight fades. Still and all, letters drip and tradewinds see blown paper curling like blotted fingertips!
