7-27-2012    Desperate for a Smile
        More than often I wake up out of a sleep,my world never changed
        Or so I thought until I walked into a dream with a flower,
        At first sight I could feel the freedom of the seeds sprouting,
        The coming of the new age, the leaving behind of yesterday,
        It was then I knew I could not leave,I had to stay,
       
        Everyday I watch you -flower, grow tall after spring showers,
        With each midnight moon,the sky’s changed it’s direction,
        Bringing chemical changes to the setting sun’s power,
        I may have been wrong to have chosen to remain external,
        Because it was then that I missed a smile,it seemed final,
                                                       
        In my deepest dreams I felt the flowers turn to seeds,
        I watch as bright colors fade,the moon kept you stalling,
        I heard the call of the wild from Autum skys pulling time,
        Someone awoke me as I watered my slombering friend to the end,
        Feeling the footprints erode into lightness,I felt myself smile.
