Soaring through tales of barnyard Waddles and Squeaks.
Moo! Quack! Giggles tumble and bump.

the scent of soil and...

That night when they each gave, 
Everything to the other, 
In energetic zealous rave.

and distilling me gray matter,
stoking mentality activates
oft time surprising me,
where unexpected novel

cognizance never abates,

what we do not have

a hollow emptiness
