PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

evening grins

slowly rusting away

in the habit of its own small amusements

dust begins its career of laying down once again

working this time so persistantly on the

television's screen

happy to just have something of its own to do

the comfort of the living room

speaks through the hum of the furnace

and the gentle breathing of the dogs so still

as they dreamlessly slumber on

in these larger than soul moments

life is suddenly so perfectly condensed

to one centralized otherworldly pool

of dense self awareness

such an old yet still so new reflection

of the idea that  THIS IS LIFE SURROUNDING ME

my true self so old and truly untouched

this experience so great yet so brief

even in the mediocre lulls of

laundry

dishes

errands

vacuuming

and sleeping

and yet its here

(and such a most amazing here)

in the middle of my living years

the most beautiful loving chapter of my life

came to be written

and it moves me to truly realize

that the peek isn't even upon the horizon

of my over view

yes indeed childhood rhyme

MERRILY MERRILY MERRILY...........LIFE IS BUT A DREAM!
