Attitude!?
Let me know Peace!-within---then…I live Truth!
Awoke-fresh this
morn’ to most-gentle rain
Syncopated-cadenced
“pitter-patter” refrain
“Thank You!
Lord” For Mother Nature’s-Love!
Satiating her
bounty celestial-guidance above
Soft whisper-wind
cool through open-window delight
Tender-caress
tingle revived body at hinted dawn-light
Attitude-toward-life
harbors appreciation-of-gift
Comfort-found in
kaleidoscope flower-garden sift
Some might
angrily-foolish complain-“Inconvenient”
I revel
satisfaction-complete acceptance myriad-sentient
Fresh-sent spring-rain an olfactory
pleasure-placate
Refreshing-respite
soothes a spirit-measured sedate
I smell through
fanciful-“sense” nature’s promise-wind
A 24-hour notice
of open-mind to what day may bring
Laugh!? I’ll not blame
thee to doubt that I might possible-know
Sting-fresh nose
tingle-prediction of winter-time chilling-snow
Attuned to
nature---like life…I allowed my old skeptical-protégé
We were building
a barn at Thanksgiving in pragmatic fanciful-play
Ole “Charley”
suspicious when I announced, “I smell snow!”
Twenty minutes
later the elder flinched-away ice-pellets show
Never said a
word, the old man in uncertain contemplation-circumspect
Wondering, “How
did he know?” He grudgingly offered an earned-respect
Mother Nature
“speaks” to any who humble might
choose only listen
Any Then has been; Now just is; Future
prognosticates today’s-missin’
Pay attention! Mon Amie!---Waste-effort reaching back…
forfeit the ‘morrow!?
There’ll be time
for lament-in-counting; refuse participate in all vacant-sorrow
Choose wisely!
Decide quickly! Rebuke procrastination! Conclude Truth!
Deceive-self
faux-knowledge in ignorance-denial? Pay at the toll-booth!
