To smile, to sing..To give food, to laugh..To eat ice cream all year round
To travel the world, to share your thoughts
To climb trees, in shorts' and in short to
Dance or be quite merry, there is multi tasking, maybe thats a snack as you drive
Stimulates metabolisam keeps the body
Alive.' Did warriors fight yet defend others
The sharper reflexed, won over any bother
Expand your conscious its the better way to good health you will find, engage with others, may you, have the greatest of days.!
Mid-spring, skinny, black, blind
eastern tent caterpillars -
Malacosoma americanum -
falling from the cherry tree
leaning, human, over our deck.
Irksome. Mash and kick
them with my feet, continue
practicing or reading.
Three weeks later, reading
late at night. Heavy-bodied
black-eyed, reflexed antennae -
many hundreds of moths
crave the lamplight, some attaining
extinction through cracks
around the window screen. Vexing.
Until next morning, I look
up the name that has eluded me
all spring and early summer.
The single-minded moth and larval colony -
one small monophony.
If the soul is reflexed in the mirrors of one's eyes,
then what is refexed in the eyes
when one looks in the mirror?
If one's action speaks louder than words,
then how loud are the words one speaks
when the action is one of silence?
If the thoughts of the mind control the heart,
then what thoughts control the heart
when the mind is left to ponder?
