sitting on the edge
hanging limbs
brushing tremors on its skin
burbles as it tips on moss on stone
mouth washed mini waterfalls
sunlight slips from crest to trough
toe tipping tiny tsunami's
snapping branches
ships with leaf sails
sails and leaves...

Oars slap water,
a heron
watching, fishing, being still as
stone.

An early sun
crashing through the mist
intent on warming eggs.

Oars sweep a clunky-swoosh,
white wake burbles.

Row slow
By the time the kitchen is reached,
It will be minutes before breakfast,
there will be bacon.

Oars slap water,
gently, ever so gently....

My mind is a dreamy river, 
that flows untiring - smooth and rapid, 
murmuring the words it adores, 
the burbles of its ponderings.

No soaring airplane built today
Can carry me as far away
As does my wife’s inviting glance
When time arrives for more romance,

And when I walk and hold her hand
No orchestra or marching band
Can replicate the cheerful song
That burbles up and tags along—

How blessed I am with boundless love,
Eternal gift from God above;
This woman many years my wife
Is friend and lover through my life....

Clear undulating waves play tag
with an omnipresent seashore;
each recurring breaker burbles
sounds from an ancient beginning
ebbing back to its salty self
with rhythmic perpetuity.
Subtle unvoiced fricative sounds
echo from sandy, shallow shoals
awash with vacant tiny shells
that once dwelled in this saline soup.
Gray and white gulls hover above
receding breakers scavenging
them opportunistically
in a cacophonous frenzy....

Sleepy,
Weepy,

Sweetie,
Cutie,

Babe drools.
It crawls,

On floor,
On four.

Burbles,
Gabbles,

Wets bed,
Cute bud!

Guileless,
Artless,

Chuckles, 
Giggles,

Grows up. 
Sits up.

Child walks.
Child runs.

Climbs up.
Falls down.

Naughty,
Haughty,

Spoiled brat!
Moppet!

Mom’s joy!
Dad’s toy!

God’s gift
World’s light!
