Thinking of When

I often think of when
I did not know – infatuated
with mystery; ignorant 
of air and lift; wondering
if wings were something 
magic – 

time and distance, a carpet ride, 
for endless exploration...the 
slower the start, the more 
thrilling...seeming “Bolero”
on imaginative-steroids – yet to solve
the enchantment of breasts
less revealed, and the intimacy
of what appeared above those dainty feet 
and bare ankles, that rose and settled 
in majestic puffs of skirt with each swirling
breath-full dance – 
 
I hope that, when I get to
heaven, I will be pleasantly
surprised!~no castles and
roads of gold...just a lost
naivety to be reinstated 
for a new, and equally delightful
clumsy try....

Thank you, Evenly; how boring if we knew everything...besides loving us, I think God made us to delight in our discovery.
