*************************** *************************** WARNING: what you read at noon is NEVER the same poem or post a few hours later. I can't help myself. I like to noodle. HELPFUL SUGGESTION: if you like what you've read (and even if you didn't), come back in a day or two. It'll be better. In fact, if you hated it, you must come back and read it again because it will definitely be better. *************************** "I find that I am so excited I can barely sit still or hold a thought in my head. I think it's the excitement only a free man can feel, a free man at the start of a long journey whose conclusion is uncertain" -Red in The Shawshank Redemption, Stephen King ***************************

a million million years ago

sand colored mountains

hide  the simplest garden

within its green one tiny cluster

 

almost quiet busy busy

strings of genes so very colorful

elegant and nubile  each one appears

in that exacting point in time

 

lets do a dance

lets rearrange, doe cee doe 

skip backwards, upside down

take a chance with me

take a chance

 

the mountains hide

a simple garden

a boy sits quiet, almost ready

I think he is the most beautiful boy

he might be dreaming about strings

his heart beats like a song to dance for

so elegantly he could almost die

so colorfully I could almost cry

Charming, wistful -- and challenging.
