Emotional content is in the mass productive mode
Archiving what we feel incredibly capable
Encountering understandable things
Represented in a collection of simple reasoning

How remarkably unique to each individual situation
Simultaneously emblematic, yet a form of human industry
Creating our basic traditional needs, our cultural archives & paintings
Where nature emerges quite ready to repeat…history in the making

Clearly, death shall have no dominion…
In the potential of thought…transcendent intertwining spirits
Explaining an awakened persistent knock
Waking absent-mindedly with feelings in our pockets

Running home from school, taking larger strides
Refusing to look, to either side
A variety of cottages, shining through dusk
Smiling with fireplace arms around us

The price before birth is embossed on our bellies
Giving up our cookbooks for wider margins of jelly
Relations containing everything we need
Penciled and chiseled on my soul and sleeve

Objects adapted to human use
Grows softer in enhancing our value and forming our muse
In mass productive aesthetic values project
Contemporary life and you ain’t seen nothing yet

We interact with hopes and dreams
Originating from our individual needs
But what if the value drew lyrical sense
To dismiss the aesthetics and tear down the fence

An appreciative more thoughtful intent to meanings
Of the value of what we dismiss as insignificant things
There’s a place in the suspension of emotion
Where thoughtful appreciation associates devotions

I believe good thoughts live and thrive
unto forever and never hide
but array a beam of much needed light
upon each and every child lost in the night
and never asks for change?

Lee, I have read this several times now
and you my dear have penned a masterpiece!
Into my library it goes to read again during quieter times.

~The breeze that kissed you on the face,
    Has held me in the same embrace~
