Freedoms Elixir I taste the air after a spring shower Cupping my hands I drink before it’s lost The earthy cleanness makes me breath deeper Wetness from a few stray drops touch my face The gathering puddles begin to steam They will not last long in this desert wind I smile watching tiny sparrows bathing Soon they are joined by crows dipping their heads Ruffling their feathers preening with joy Racing across azure skies clouds gather We may have more rain before the day’s done I gaze with gratitude for precious life Breathing deeper of ozone laden air The scent of pine and flowers mixes well With knowledge, wisdom and understanding All blending to make Freedoms Elixir Karen Mc Neil June 15, 2012 *may our dreams ever be magical* |

Precious water. It is the elixir of gods (and humans), as you so proved the point in this beauty of a poem. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

A pretty potent blend there. I could us some of that love the imagery, as always. Michael. |

I remember walking the deserts. Chilling temps in the evening, brilliant mornings, scathing afternoons, then back into the cool. Excellent work! |

Delightful poem! To see all the beauty that is around you makes you rich indeed. To taste it, to smell it, to hear it--that's what makes life grand. More please Startime, give us more. |
