A poem for fun! 9/20/20
I heard past generations In my son’s voice, I saw his life fly Into another dimension, A place, I can only imagine.
Thoughts flicker like twinkling lights, ride them across the sky. Embrace your dream,
Life is like a dream A star studded sky A blink of an eye Oh, how life slips by. Life is like a song
Great scientific minds Working for cures Of terminal diseases, The clock ticks... What is the cure
Perhaps it is the mind separating things into this and that. Perhaps it is the mind with it’s preferences
Remember the night we took your mother’s car and drove over the skyway bridge? The moon was a bright light to show the way.
I remember your smile, your laugh,… you gave so freely. It’s hard that you are gone. I sigh and walk along the bay.
Many thoughts in the mind, Some productive, some not. They glow like fires, Created by needs and
Time passing by now In a blink of the eye, In the clap of a hand, In the chirp of a bird, In a flash of light
Last night I dreamt that I floated above the clouds, above the earth and my heart
It is what it is Despite my wishes for it, Otherwise. You are who you are Despite my expectations,
Squirrels with bushy orange tails leap about the deck. Crickets hum, confused that it’s not dark yet. The caw of a blue jay
Orange full moon with a half smile, a hanging lantern, lighting the way, through dark streets,
On a walk this morning, the rocky cliffs that reach the blue-green sea, talk of strength today.
When I first heard “The Blackbird,” In the middle Of night, I was just thirteen.
