"What Dreams May Come"

Life is so fragile and tenuous now

a Pill can be the deciding factor between

Life--and Death; also Sanity--and madness

How difficult to carry such a weight upon 

one's shoulders!  The Sweetness of Life Calls Me

Like The Sunshine Calls the flowers to 

emerge, grow, bloom, and drift 

back into eternity, the alluvial soil, the earth

Thus the Sunshine 

coming through my large windows

actually helps me to live and sustains me

and inspires me

Sunshine is starlight

And we Know that light is Good

and it keeps me alive

And life, being alive,

existence, the passing of time

and space--ah, how sweet and delicious it is 

to be alive!  Heaven Can Wait.  

I don't really need a heaven

as I'm growing older, and

setting my stones into walls,

I am finding Joy, Peace,

Serenity, Wisdom as I age

These rewards outweigh beauty

and beauty's vain pursuits

for in doing good Deeds and

Praying all day every day

Is just as wonderful as being Young

I am Young in my heart--and old in

my heart-- and in this miracle is

peace to my soul, like a soothing balm

to a cruel vicious wound

that comforts and heals too

domestic life comforts

that we have collected in our home

are everything to me

I tend the house.  When it is a

mess, then my heart is in chaos

I love my home, my little house

I love my gentle soothing tea

I love to watch the sun

rise in the East and Set in the West

at which point i go to sleep

and rise with the gentle sunshine

For me, my books, my spices,

my teas, my clothes, my Jewelry,

my makeup, my unworn dresses

my phone, music, my teapot,

and my passion for writing 

the most beautiful poems

that I am able to collect 

as much as possible---

This, is to be my Symphony.

Here's to What Dreams 

Have Yet to Dream

and the yummy pleasures

that lurk therein.  Kernels 

of truth and beauty, here's to

a long life spent writing

at least a hundred volumes of poetry!

I look into my heart

and i see an infinite number

and variation of dreams!

In JEsus' Name, Amen
