Slumber-time!---and...more

 
Horizon-vistas infinite---
 
Embrace, do (simple-humble) I, that texture-soft midnight-black
punctuated with myriad blue-white diamond-sparkle kaleidoscope
wooing a willing spirit-wild with anticipation for adventure
dreams-of-Hope for an ever-better dawn-of-day future-come.
 
In some wee-hour space to indulge a fantasy-plethora delight.
Always---satiating-good, the images…Pleasant-slumber! Son!
 
A body and mind respite---A soul replenished…Awaiting…
 
Dawn! A first peach-blush of the promised ’morrow-come.
She soft-kisses away the night-of-dreams coaxing Life!-renewed.
And, I’ll not fight her subtle-invite; rather, luxuriate in her embrace.
 
Sunrise!-soon! To stir the winds in struggle-reach above a far horizon
in that coldest several minutes of another new-born day now red-ablaze!
 
Quick-now! Up and fresh, a banana, perhaps, to stave a hunger-pain;
then, out the door to feed the critters hay and grain, their breakfast.
Open the gates and herd them out to forage for another day-fare treat.
 
Mid-morn to rest upon the ancient hand-made oaken century-bench by
Grandpap-built ’neath the giant silver maple filigree-shade; a respite-earned
in strenuous-labor spent playing with alfalfa-bales too heavy-in-resistance.
 
And---at the (finally) long-awaited lunch-time…nourishing food-fare.
 
I live yonder-south of warm-comfort high-sun noon;
a bit west of illuminated-alabaster pale full-moon.
 
Mid-afternoon, an ice-cream treat, to cool a heated-spirit, already satiated.
 
Eve’s lovely purple hue-delight enhanced with elegant-supper fare.
Gathered-family thankful-celebrate another “little”-victory of love.
 
Porch-swing time to savor-sweet the day passed in solace-replete.
Perhaps---some hot-tea and toast…then greet the night-time space.
 
Slip into slumber-blessed in honor Praise-prayer to Glory Truth!-chant:
 
Faith! Family! Freedom! Might just be all there really---Is!
In one eternal-instant the only mercy-blessing will be…His!
 
Amen!
