days like this
there is wonder
in the shape of things
much more than simple function in the form
magnificence in patterns
grace in the traced template
outlining perfection
or a the very least,
mind-boggling excellence
there is magic in moments together
simply exquisite how I love these things so much
my mind conjures up some of my favorite things:
♦️cotton candy clouds reorganizing in mid air
🔹ferns unfolding, like majestic fans for kingly trees
🔸leaves dancing to the grounded drum beats of rain
♦️random pieces of life naturally shaped into hearts
🔹a thick, glass 6 oz coke bottle, icy cold, being pulled from a clanging machine…1970’s style
🔸cupcakes with perfect frosting being deconstructed one finger swipe at a time
♦️the outline of a baby cheek sleeping on the shoulder of the young man in front of you
🔹Rama Desi’s yellow house, complete with intricately drawn chalk sidewalk dragons
🔸tracing the most perfect button I’ve ever seen on a belly
my list must be a million miles long…
ever growing, changing, being continued –
as life does with each breath
the fingers of my imagination slowly, lovingly,
explore,
gently touch each one…
…lingering on you…
as my mind takes me into other worlds
cinema scope of beautiful shapes,
wealth of living awareness,
far beyond limits
the riches of the mystic
always ready
even if we pause for a moment
these details are the delight
we share these visions with each other
(sometimes calling them poems)
these words of this and that
we scribe
to describe
to be seen
to discover
our selves
our beauty
our universes
our homes
our neighbors
our friends
our families
our lovers
each lingering like sweet honey on the tongue
then continuing on at their own perfect pace
into eternity
