Yeah! I dare believe in "Rainbows" and "Unicorns"---and...Love!

“Magic”-carpet Ride

 

Four days I’ve been patiently waiting for the silk-suit

Meteorologist guru’s prognostication to come true with

those daily fiats of precious ‘rain” to finally fall---but…No!

 

Sure! True! I could have shlepped out the old stand-by for

water, the ever-faithful and trusty water hose; that’s work!

 

Garden’s dry, even the pesky squirrel vagrants won’t eat what’s

left of the shriveled veggies, grass’s dormant, trees droop. Wow!

 

Roses seem to thrive on drought conditions; Love! Triumphs!

 

Sitting in the yellow porch swing, an expectant eye on the cerulean

sky, hoping for a cloud, an errant wish, life slipped into my images.

 

Knew a neighbor once who had served his country well, daily

flew the red, white and blue in his manicured emerald yard,

loved his family, practiced his faith, talked a fiery-freedom brand.

And---hated…Oh! Dear Lord! “Hated”---with passion!

 

The “stupid” Red Chinese commies! Europe’s “frogs”, “limeys”, “krauts”,

all eastern Europeans, Mid-East people, Aussies, Africans---all the rest!

 

How there was any room for Love! in that demon-caldron? I’ll never know.

 

I might, indeed, find this holy Spirit of Love! and generous-Peace! presently

trapped in a “human-physical” realm of searching desperation for---What?

Fame? Fortune? Celebrity? Material? Wealth? Friends? Peace? Love?

 

I intend to purpose-choose and live the latter two of the lamented-litany.

 

Ah! Clouds on the horizon portended by the delicious sound of thunder.

 

I thank Thee! Lord! As does our dear Mother Nature.

 

Nature’s rain waters the flora and fauna blends with my single tear/

 

Too much Good! for “evil” to stand---in “The end”…Revelation reigns!

 

Faith! Family! Freedom!

Happy Sunday!---everyday!

 

Amen!
