Sun Drops of Morning I cannot see the morning for the sun much as the trees for forest at the dawn I cannot see the winning for the game much as the nimble for the lame I cannot say the words I have to say for the paragraphs of idiocy in the way What would the evening bring if it had a voice; would the powers that be reiterate a choice? Could nonsense be found in logic that’s presumed? And food found in the fodder that’s consumed? Could a mind that’s set aside for want of thought, presume the messages that a life has wrought? If there were thinkers that were sage, would there be something whimsical about the page? If Alice had found a wonderland in life would she have ended up a wizard’s wife? If crawdads could dance beside the stream would they have needed entrance to my dreams? If there were something I truly had to say, would I continue on in this array? The morning of this day is rising high as flies and sun drops flit about the sky. I sit and press the keys in nonsense phrase seeking for a thought or two to raise. Short circuits seem the nourishment at hand as sands in hourglass and minutes span. Oh, whisper words of innocence my friend the thoughts in cumulus defend, they drift about within the sea of blue that hovers over earth with naught to do, but let the sun drops of the morning seep into the hearts of those who rise from sleep. And should a treasure rise above the muck certainly we’d awaken rascal Puck. ©August 29, 2002 perhaps it should be "Sun Drops of Morning Madness" Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

I enjoyed this piece of poetic pondering. I too, have used the "if" word to provoke thought. Check out my "If Superman..." on page two. It's good for a laugh! Love, Light & Laughter Linda |

VAS, Madness is part of gladness, that is part of happiness, that is part of enjoy, which is what I did. |
