~ Top o' the Morning ~


My vision soars through crystal skies
bourn high in astral flight
Drifting free on shifting breeze
banking left ...
then banking right
~
A reclusive need for solitude
spreads wings within my head
and rises up through phobic mists
atop the pall ...
'tis stress I dread
~
A rising sun smiles upon my face
triggers ...
coronary delight
above the clouds of Heaven's step
helping ...
rectify my plight
~
My leaden shroud is lifted high
six angels share its' weight
" Top o' the morning " I heard them say
as they passed
through Heaven's gate
~
" We'll have your shroud
all cleaned and pressed
we'll embroider on its' nape
A morning dove shall bring it back
wear it well ...
it's Heaven's cape "
~
Descending home ...
can't help but see
the world's a brighter place
A pristine air
pervades the skies
as tension seems erased
~
Subconscious thought
soon nullified
Fresh air ...
inflates the hollow
I yawn and stretch as nature's song
sings through my open window
~
My dream serene starts fading fast
my thoughts
to reality ... focus
while reaching out to close the pane
a dove slips through
... unnoticed ...
~~~

So that you won't ever forget me.~

And a cheery goo'day to you too! Thanks Rex. But you almost had me looking at the calendar, wondering if March had arrived,  and if I am a Rip Van Winkler case.
