I think about the things that truly matter A disconnect of numbing games and mindless chatter To enter into pristine fields, a sparkling state of chance And frolic in the pleasures where by choice my heart can dance I concentrate on senses, both obvious and not A shedding of defenses, focused on what wealth forgot To seek a joyous ending to the cream of every day And capture that sweet recipe, to make along my way I cannot seem remember, ever put within my lap A more charming thought to carry or a better plotted map To be nearer to the beauty as a child in open knows In the light of so much bounty, every wild flower grows Copyright Kkh 6/29/02 [This message has been edited by ThisDiamond (06-29-2002 06:42 PM).] |
