Magic and Miracles

New dawn of mankind Heralded a new life. A life of magic and miracles! I want to see a cow fly--an elephant sing. I want to see the blue sky open up with a fun fair ring In the cloud's circus--the clowns dancing. I want to hear my pet dog talk to me; tell me how his day went. I want to sing the song of love, feel the rhythm of the music, Echoing in my heart, pumping my whole being with the lyric. I want to be drunk senseless and enjoy it. I want to be happy, make love a thousand times With the unity-ecstasy it brings with my want at this time. I want to live a free life in my yellow beetle Pumping gas at five hundred miles an hour to the music of the Beatles. I want to call the sun to come to me when I am cold. I want the rain to let driblets of water fall on my dry lips when I am thirsty. I want the darkness of the night to come to me when I am weary. I want a plate of fish and chips to come to me when I am hungry. I want her to wrap her warm body around me So I can feel my pulse beat with hers in our cocoon of love. Yellow sun descends upon us in our journey to the sun--the moon, Singing our songs of love in the blue clouds, Midst the eagles perched on the moon. I want the birds to sing poetry to me when I am troubled. I want to sleep on the warm, soft clouds when I am restlessness. I want to see--talk to God so I can confess my sins. I want Him to make my thoughts pure, strong in that den. Within the jungle of senselessness, I want to breathe the pure, sweet air of nature, innocence, goodness, Not the poison in the dark corners of this wordlessness. I am asleep now, my wants have been satisfied Until I can think of new magic and new miracles!

Raj, welcome to premium membership...I see it (not in all cases!) as a commitment, really, to give soup a good shot @ meeting expectations.....I mostly use soup as a repository for my work (tho i do hard-copy back-up!) ....easy to edit....etc....love the community here....somehow, i have been able to stay above the sometimes "personal issues" that arise in any family! now, your poem! if the reader is quiet....they glimpse more than vanity here...I see the magic that arises from giving.....more in your last stanza's.....love it! jimbo
