Nature's Wake

.

      The morning's bright 
       lit the once black in 
             mine eyne

     The tips of mine digits 
on my hands and on mine feet 
pulled me like the rubber band
       in a mighty stretch

               mine thus
                yawned

       And after my wake
   nature had me reach for
                the you
           
              yesss you

Daver Austin December 24, 2011 at 2:44 PM What is Sir James up to, I was just asking myself. So, I decided to find one of his poems and read it a few hundred times - such is his complex mind. This is not complex, James, just great. Merry Christmas. Love, daver

Laura Breidenthal December 19, 2011 at 9:07 PM Ah, this poem was really nice to read! Hope all is well, James! Always, Laura

Carolyn Devonshire December 14, 2011 at 10:39 AM Many people wake up groggy and need a cup of coffee before they reach out for their loved one. How wonderful that the mere touch of the sun on your eyes makes you reach for her. Beautifully written, James. Love, Carolyn
