Moments of Magic

MOMENTS OF MAGIC

when I was young
oh maybe five minutes ago
I would spin 
beneath the coolness of the ancient elm
it smiled down on me
through the suns rays
all golden, green and happy

like a soft top whirl about
arms outstretched 
hands float, white leaves
on effervescent air
heart thrum 
heavy even rhythms 
perhaps a call to somewhere

bared feet a whirly gig
in young grass 
soak up the energy of the earth
absorb the world so far way
I was safe caught up in my dream
then, to collapse on the ground 
waiting for the earth to spin in answer.

I personally would prefer to say "Pure unadulterated genius"...but that is just my own unqualified opinion I guess. I hope you are keeping well, Patricia. Your friend. :) john
