i went to wendy's today
and i purchased an orange cream soda
i then went to my old neighborhood to a particular house
in front of that particular house, i poured out the creamy orange contents
a lawn mower and an old, worn hat was placed there
december 27th, 2018, my oldest friend was diagnosed with cancer
january 2nd, 2019, the angels came
i failed to keep in touch in any way, shape, or form
i pushed his friendship away, choosing the option to be by myself
despite my treatment of him, which he so did not deserve, he still came to knock on my old apartment door to see how i was doing
his friendship was unconditional with a loyalty that i did not deserve
due to my personal choices, not only am i left with multidirectional regrets,
but i also did not get to go to his funeral to his wonderful mother not knowing how to contact me
my choices were my choices, and there are mirrors all around as tough love teachers
i am sorry, First Friend, Rest Easy and suffer and struggle no more
by the way, give a kiss to my Mother....I Miss You Both
sandpaper savage today
buttermilk wavelength tomorrow
directions are like buffets in multidirectional earthquakes
yet and still i cherish the day
downward spiral clouded pepper today
scallops dipped in butter sauce tomorrow
arrows are like indecisive enthusiasts continuously banging their heads
yet and still i cherish the day
driving off of an embankment today
sucking nipples carelessly on a pillowtop mattress tomorrow
pathways are like emotional guessing games defiant to antiquated rules
yet and still i cherish the day
there are times of tests when the mind becomes ambidextrous
there are moments in time when the body becomes multidirectional
when the horizons are being bullied and all organisms begin to pollute
won't you please set my wearied mind at ease and let me see you in your birthday suit
AMEN.....
I sit in my garden gazing at the trees.
Leaves of gold, red, amber and orange fills the sky.
Some spinning downward, falling multidirectional.
A warm glow carpets the still green grass of fall.
The tree trunks look so much darker
Against the intense vibrant colored leaves.
The backlight of sun rays illuminates them,
Giving them an almost translucency.
It reminds me of stained glass against sky blue.
It seems like an energy is infused within these leaves,
Setting them afire on this October day.
A wondrous contentment it brings me.
Nature is certainly at her healing best today.
