Philosophy

If ever there was a pleasure

that I would wish for thee.

It would be the solitude

of an afternoon tea.

I would bring the kettle

and a biscuit for you.

You would bring the tea

and we would begin to brew.

As we pour our cups

to the top of the brim.

We would take our ginger man

and laugh as it dips in.

The places I have been

And the places I have seen

Has been good for my soul

And washed me clean

Missing the before,

realize it is my before.

I stop and dwell in time

no before and no after.

I am then in the presence

Of the universe.

beneath the heaven

I see the windows of time

I’m always in awe…

Wonder and beauty

Reflects a warm afternoon

Peaceful

Dawn and Night take flight,

an illusion seems otherwise.

Imagination …

it is nice pulling

Up the shade on the morning

A hopeful attempt …

A Robin with a staccato chirp sounds alarm

As a gray rabbit scurries across the road

Into a shabby white wash painted barn

Tattered with age and a yearning presence

…of the past

Morning make me a promise

be close with me today

wherever I go or wherever I stay.

I pray as I walk and hope you listen

as I deliver it all to you.

In your glistening morning,

the black shadows and magenta sun,

and Verdant fields wet with dew .
