Quests This is one of the great moments Connection incarnate To know I can do what I wish, Where others took pen to paper, I take a window to world… And in my world Crickets hum, criss-crossing an I am, at 8:32 CST In my own yard, my own dream, watching sunsets Set, slowly, in harbor time, somewhere else, as Katydids sing I am in listen time, with dog paws scratching deck Ears alert, tail motioned in drum of air, This is….summer… This is heartbeat, song sung, relaxation of belly to deck; Quirp to quirp quip of bird talk Me in the dark and you, in shadows, Siren song to a place unknown; with crickets overchirping And some mosquito in quest of Blood. Like you. This is the blood quest. Dream well, and long. |

I can feel the summer eve- and I like the mosquito on his quest, I've not thought of it like that before Susan |

I hate those things, thank goodness we don't have many. Nice evening spent in thought this was. |
