Reflective

Maybe I can be sad

Said a three year old

Wise beyond his years

With words profound

 

From tomorrow I

Try to barter and probe

Like the little boy from

The other side of the globe

 

He rewards me with

A million watt smile

Today is for us to live

Tomorrow away by miles

 

It may turn out

Great, bright and cheery

Not like what I feared

Not dark or dreary

(dedicated to a very important little one, who has enriched my life beyond words)

Looking within, letting go

 

 

I flutter above

Suspended animation

I oft state

 

I want to watch

Myself go by

I await completion

Of a well put day

 

Instead of a chaotic

Mad rush of

Pandemonium

Surrounds my

every move

 

every step of mine

fumbles and slips

I fool myself

Of being settled

 

Far from it! Very!

Enveloped in love, strangely ...

Limp with overwhelming

Gratitude and joy

Marveling at all the

Love pouring in deluge

 

With not a hateful bone

None of any spite even

A day and people

Filled with pure love

 

Unlike any other

Today was different

Just a warm blanket

Of much needed affection

Silent love

Oh you, I remember everyday

Beside you, I sit to converse

Without you, tears will flow

If only, time, I could reverse

 

Today, the first of the rest

Of my life, as I begin

Milestones none, void many

Just a series of has-beens

 

Little does one know, I

Walk in silent love

Burying regrets within

Hearing you, from up above.

 

(Self commemoration for the birthday, a milestone one...maybe)

 

Walt Whitman’s Leaves of grass, 1900

“O you who I often and silently come

Tales of joy

 

 

Let’s go and find the key

That’s close to the fine pot of gold,

Tell me where the empty room is

To fill it with my range of dreams

 

Let’s return to the place of tales

And a case a case of happy endings

Met our match, we shall stop

The magical window sill

 

It then hit me, smack on

The searching high and low

At all costs, shall go on, for

There is no risk of “The End”
