Aint It Funny How It Is


   I like the accidental, 
incidental
way- the mist kisses and lifts from the timberline, 
like angelic lung 
that breathes it all in,
drifts to the next flowering, 
a honey bee in a land of fairy as our heart's 
flutter and are arrow stung, eros strung.

The way the sun facets its beam in
shutter glistened wink, 
balance hung in the cascadency of echo-system, 
beats, chirps, wakings strummed.
How loving that the lens is left open to show 
we are live radiantly in a song and not alone, 
not a curse of one.

I like how food just happens to be,
a bounty of giving, 
a consistent conglomeration congealed upon itself 
and presented as social happenstance 
of living happened stance,
aroma of heart lance of delicious varietal trance 
of sustenance. 
In colors decadent,
juices, magnificent enough to be
a cuisine, cuisinart machinery.

I like the sunrise, how it presents itself in 
a theatrical opening credit,
the greeting anew, all be it-
the salutationed dew, sparkling,
chirping song-ward, music impending- 
foreshadowed-Mother's teet 
sending milk in perfect flow,
"in a brilliance of only One who is in the know". 
A verse spoken  long-words tokened in a windswept mansions of Holy dimensions-vowed.
In patterned tale cameowed mosaic chord 
of harmonic scale to tell, the sunset to bow.
the grandeur of a days production, 
setting silhouette cast and an amen 
and again by the moon to watchover as sentinel 
who keeps watch for,
in the promise of dawn,
in wait, stagelight
drawing ready 
to perform from- behind the curtain again.
