tomorrow comes with deep set Greek philosophical eyes… so unexpectedly, comrades of grazing lands piping tones into a lipstick sunrise instinctively nudging & harvesting, as it passes mimicking the old man’s casual dress making us sit up in admiration cannonball slabs of wistfulness quietly boiling like letters from a fire chatting magical puppet with a once upon a time phrase of sounds of morning awakening, writing a language with honest satisfaction & thrumming pulse and...I am reminded by this pungent daylight of doors that would open and close again & of time caressing fragments of my life with tally sheet at hand easily forgotten...then the voice of tomorrow began to whisper breaking that momentary lapse of silence “I’ve been waiting here for a week?” “I’m sorry”, I replied, adding, “I was worried about, what others thought of me” while fumbling with my smile... Tomorrow gazed and in that instance between dimness of light I saw convictions of other dimensions snapping back sparks of connection's plights one single moment can serve a life sentence or prove a savy wine cellar of a window man serving zesty trades of sunny side up high tides of adoration 101 at that moment, tomorrow let down a draw-bridge of sea, glistening far & beyond with robes of pearl color shining like stars no one else's mindset seemed to matter can you feel the warmth... of tomorrow romping on the silence like an immortal companion?

"caressing fragments of my life with tally sheet at hand," "the voice of tomorrow began to whisper breaking that momentary lapse of silence" ~ Gosh, I enjoy your rich and unique turns of phrase. "“I was worried about, what others thought of me” while fumbling with my words…." Lee, may all of your tomorrows be smiling upon you. btw you need never worry what others think of you! Rest assured that you are loved and admired ~ and appreciated. Love, Linda |

Airliners have a little-known device called a jump-seat....literally a fold-out seat, in the cockpit's entryway, where an extra person can ride. Usually that'll be a pilot who is going home after a run that leaves him in a city other than the place he lives, or maybe a new pilot learning the airline's procedures.... I like that concept for people, if it could be done....and if it ever is, I want the first ride in your jump-seat...I want to watch you fly your mind someplace like this.... ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |
