My life began On a grain, of sand A spume of spirit washed, on land The grain turned to gravel and then, into stones The grit turned to marbles then mountains of bones Ridges of nakedness trying to bluff Down to the deserts of just not enough Passing by cactus still holding their ground Walking on secrets still hiding their sound And so we continue to solve with resolve Love is still hiding, inside of involve We step and we step and endear with endure One is a cancer and two is a cure Don’t think that by falling, you’re not doing well A canyon is made from the raindrops that fell All that we are are clusters of feeling Spending our memories kneeling and stealing Reaching for something, that fondles us back Looking for remnants of hope that we lack We are the jig to somebody’s saw We are the heat to somebody’s thaw We are the promise of tattered and torn I took my first breath on the stub, of born One time I ground a dream into dust I poured in the ocean and it, became us Yester is tired, of being a day Tomorrow is only a lifetime, away  |

A LOT of play on words within the confines of this one, Richy. You are very good at that, and now that I know where you come from I can understand why. ~*~ If they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |

Enjoyed as usual, Richy. "All that we are are clusters of feeling" Think you're right there. |

Richy can you cook? You combine such wonderful "flavors" for the mental palette- whimsey and humor and love make this a delishous read. Lori |

Lori G, that is so funny that you ask that, because I am actually a chef instructor. By day I paint with sweetness and seasoning and by night I scribble with affection and mystery. I’m glad your mind found the poem delectable, the flavor of your replies are always so sweet. |
