An Hour, A Memory

I had an hour like

a painting today

a work of Art in every way

each dappled shadow

each laughing boy

filled my cup to the brim

with immeasurable joy

air like silk

flowed through balmy shade

of simple pleasures, my life is made

In Love

I’m in love with the day
I’m drunk with the sun

high on the breeze
I sing with the birds
I dance with the trees

my heart has been won
infatuation complete
I desire no roof
no floor for my feet

the fragrance of Earth
such glorious musk

so in love with this day
I stay out past the dusk

my passion awakened
as night’s curtain falls
expanse like black velvet
stars shine - darkness calls

hold me, dear Earth
feed me and nourish
it’s in Her arms only
my soul may flourish

all that I need, all I desire
is here for my pleasure
sun’s glory, night’s fire
