Soon the dead will come alive
and bud a view of awesome feel
but too the rain and thunder storms
to break and mutilate the stems
that hold aloft the fragile.

Oh, let it come; it always does
this manifest of start and end
except for the Ferris wheel of love
round and round and round again
asking, maybe praying,
“Please let me go somewhere”.

Buckled up and chained within
love strains against confinement
but dizzy from the swing up/down
the knots can’t be undone.

Within the heart a spirit call  
demands the up of energy
and I love the freedom of the sky
where minds create reality.

Down with a bang perceptions clash
and love’s intent falls flat
destined to always be disowned
until the awakening.

Awake with love one morning please
to greet the rising dawn
and walk it to the last sunset
so love can say it's been somewhere!

Thanks M - much appreciate your comment.

Jo - thank you.  Sometimes love is slow to come and when it does, we don't know what it is but, lo and behold, we find that it has always been.

Thanks, JL.  A sunny smile always brightens up the greyest of days.  It's a grey day in South Africa today.
