The Best Is Yet To Come

in the heat of the day
you took me to the cool
a place twenty degrees different
saving me a seat in the soft
settling in I pressed against reality
in a grove of pines, auditorium of smell
just as my pores engulfed surrounding feelings
the main show began its number
three black birds in a comedy routine
playing off each others words and jokes
dancing to summers music in the breeze
then without notice day dropped its heavy curtain
I sat on the edge of my seat wanting more
I realized then it was intermission
the best was yet to come
so quietly I waited in suspense
and as slowly as it went, again it started
the final act of this amazing day
the moon gently lifted the velvet curtain
and a thousand twinkling stars
lit the edges of pointed pine needles
a show so breathtaking it made my mind pause
the sensation sent my heart in reel
I sat numb with all I had taken in
then left there feeling thick and clean
knowing happiness is the aroma of the soul

Isn't it just? A perfect description, and a beautiful poem.

I would have to agree!

Completely and complete
I'll take your invitation
You take all of me
