January 1988
~~~~~~~~~~~~
The wild, dreamy eyed woman of yesterday
went by, her scent as clear as her sway.
I watched
the fortitude of a work of art
the magnitude of a life's part
even forgot we all enjoy, live
to see, appreciate, take, give.
I watched a little more
A mother walks, her children in tow
their energy flew, in a blazing glow.
I watched
the sins of hatred word
suddenly turn to stone
when thought of real life
meant the taking of a wife.
I turned away, then
A bird from the clouds above appeared
and told me to watch, listen and hear
his song of infinite words and wisdom
until it fled from the mind's prison.
I had to watch, then
Someone tapped my shoulder lightly
and told me to leave, very mightly
and all thoughts of wonder left
I must have been, clearly, bereft
and I was watching, then
I tried to watch some more
but the feeling was gone
and my tears slipped before
they dried, telling me, DONE.
