On the Wings of a Sigh

I don’t need much to make me happy,
I favor all the simple things in life
[though I admit to sample finer, is also rather nice]. 

I’m Practical, but flexible 
[temperamental in my ways],
Realistic & Idealistic 
[depends upon the day]
Romantic & a visionary, full of hopes come what may
[& a dreamer full of dreams, much too many too ever say]
Today come tomorrow, another journey ends. 

Toss a cracker in the ocean,
Take a moment, comprehend
Watch it sink toward the bottom ~ no more misery to lend.

Wonderland’s fat cat smiles deeply, eyes drinking in the moon. 

Memories beyond all memories, Until there’s no more room...
