my wish for you today

as the day today begins to come to an end

as the day today begins to come to an end

my wish is that, if but only for a moment,

the spirit of whoever you are who is reading

my words, will have witnessed a moment of joy

 

that the presence of love will have touched

even if by slight, your heart, and for that

moment there was an absence of pain, of

anguish and sadness, the presence of peace

 

for i believe that of this presence is what

our next sojourn is made of, that the fiber

and fabric of the universe is of peace and

calm, of joy and love 

human, wildflower within

 

wildflowers grow in all their colors

attracting the eye and smell of the

bees and hummingbird and they

are sated by sweet nectar

 

the grasshopper jumps up to enjoy

the leafy petals and stems that are

tasty to him, sits on his haunch to

nibble

 

and the mantis comes to observe

the wonder of the multicolored hues,

sits back to meditate and cogitate of

all this and why it is this way

 

mother Nature gifts all these riches

to which is her nature and so is the

sun, the wind and the rain for they

are here for each other

 

if only ‘man’ could be in the same

whereby, with each other, be of the

nature of ‘humankind’, relieve those

in hunger, t’if a field of wildflowers

 

appreciate the present

 

i just went outside at 3a.m. to let my aging girl, Jasmine, so she can 'potty' and i looked up to see if i could see the conglomerate of shining stars. I spoke to 'Mamasita' now in another realm, heartfully whispering to tell her, 'Iilove you', telling my brother who left us too young, 'i love you', to a couple of good friends who also left too young, telling them, also, that i love them and i'm thinking of them.. i also and most importantly, thanked the maker of all this, for my life,, the gifts of my lovely wife, my canine children, my family and friends that are still with me in this mundane existence walking about on this rock traversing in space. And so i breathed  in deeply to ingest, to consume the verve and spirit of 'life'. t'was cathartic

 

now let's see if i can transition my body, mind and spirit from this stage of reveries to one of dreams.
