A hug a day
is knowing you are special,
as your spouse wraps his arms
around your ample waistline,
which has expanded over the years,
he still loves you through diets and tears.
A hug a day
is that joyful touch which feels so good,
a warm and fuzzy feeling tingling the toes,
puts a smile on your face which glows,
invites a smooch or two which is magical,
locks lips together which is dynamical.
A hug a day
is a dose of feel good medicine,
lasts for hours until the next one,
smoothes the soul and rough edges,
sails in the waters of a calm sea,
challenges of life are treated with glee.

I had many aspirations to be a star,
I fell somewhat short couldn’t make it to par,
My swing was pretty lethal,
Had greens full of gift,
My resemblance to the Tin Man,
was more or less the reason I slipped.
Not having the artery to receive blood through my veins,
Unable to deliver the oxygen and nutrients,
As a dynamical player my skill set varied in range.
I had everything pointing in the right direction,
From cute women to a good denomination,
But the ignorant mentality felt like
nothing in this world can handle me,
Until,
Until that one day I stopped loving what brought the happiness out of me.
I was never able to regain that swing,
Tiger Woods after surgery,
I showed glimpses like a trailer of a movie,
The reconstruction of my passion still couldn’t move me,
If it was I in the crowd watching,
I would definitely boo me.
I wander through a
thicket of broken branches
and dense leaves as
shimmering, silver water
forms a silken slide,
as it descends o'er top
a high mountain peak.
Colors of gray, blue & yellows glint
as they bounce off a bright sun, forming
rainbows against an epoch which
slowly fades into an eve of
pinks and melon hues.
Spittles of water splash
into the air, like tiny diamonds.
Splaying about on soft
mossy mounds of green
carpeted rocks at a
lowermost portion of the falls.
Calm breezes speak
through branches of
trees laden with viridity,
capturing fire beetles
of intense, yet susuruously,
flickering light.
Intense sounds
resonate from below
this spectacular fountain,
as aquatic plants display
their beauty in a slowly
darkening surrounding.
Thus once again, bringing
peace and tranquility.
Leaving one breathless
to an ever changing, dynamical
universe, as my wandering
continues through this thicket
of broken branches and dense leaves......
