Life and Death Like Old Macbeth

Dandelions, babies crying walking in the woods, astronomy, philosophy chickadees and childhood. Speckled trout, (a technical knock-out) strawberries red and sweet, winter, spring, summer, fall Butterfinger and little "Twinkie" treats. Dragon flies, questions why There’s anything at all, Making mistakes baking cup cakes Cumulous clouds and rainfall. Dancing, prancing and romancing singing by-gone songs, Christmas giving, loving, living here at home and gone. Wishing wells, magic spells rivers, lakes, seashores, children growing never knowing what's in store. Big parades in sun and shade wild animals in the park, ice cold beer and someone near when comets pass in the dark. Climbing mountains, drinking fountains Liars, tricksters, cheats, Saving grace and holiness And poetry that speaks. Dishes, wishes and a pocketful of dreams, Timbuctoo, Kalamazoo New York and New Orleans. And boats that sail watching whales reading, writing books, never-ending always spending money on good looks. History, wizardry and mysteries inside a grain of sand, life and death like old Macbeth we may never understand.
