Happy Birthday! Carl!
(January 2,
2018---72-years “Young”!?)
(Senior-humor!?)
Any passer-by
who possibly-might notice the “old-guy” sitting
at his picnic table
under that majestic-maple of the side-yard serving
as Lovely-Lady
Candice Leah’s Magnolia-Garden could never guess
the content of
Bapa’s-contemplations on a warmish winter-comfort.
Viewing the
naked-limbs sketching a “spider-web”-frame ushering a
“cold”-sun
perspective to inquisitive crystal-blue orbs caused the elder
to grin, slightly; “Happy Birthday! Son!” He mused, smiling widely.
Come “Good ole
summer-time” would find him squinting skyward to play
“sun”-tag
through the jostle-swirl leaves filtering filigree-shafts amongst
the canopy-green
allowing golden-sunlight to gentle-caress yon patio-floor.
Shedding brilliant
regal-robes in Autumn, his image-sight revealed intertwining-
nests of
waiting-limbs soft-cradling an alabaster-pale full-moon delightful-shine.
The canvas of
his imagination measured universe-wide, then extended
beyond any
well-intentioned “eternal”-consideration of creativity. His
palette-colors
ran the gamut of rainbow-hues awaiting a fantasy-brush
randomly-flourishing
fantasy-strokes to inspire a spectacular creation-image.
Yonder! In a mind un-accustomed
to any restrictive-paradigm of
conventional
“accepted”-reality determined by a faux-fiat of
“elite”-societal conviction, our
intrepid-“artiste!?”
intentional bold-stroked a “world” precise-concluded: Good!
“Oh! Sacred-spirit wild!” He silent-prayed
in Hope! Beyond boundaries-eternal.
“Saddle-not nor bridle-rein me trusty
silver-winged Unicorn steed-awesome.”
Laugh!? Thee
may! Indeed! For tethered-imagination might find, indeed, a child-
of-innocence
content to venture beyond “reality”-confining circumstance-desired.
Too-much? Any
vacant-Hope! For time-space
“Hero”-types profound---Superman
&
The
Lone Ranger!...believing:
“sacred” Truth! Justice! & The
American-way! Amen!
For: I have come---and am…and been---and, God
willing…still- might! One-day be!
A legacy: Rebel! Rascal! Rogue! Rapscallion!---Yea!-enough…for
simple-humble me!
Among those
ten-fold thousand-trees I set---I pray…brought myriad-more easy-smiles!
A-challenge: In this day He
sent---“humble” simple-self…Celebrate: His-will be-done!
Live!
Love! Laugh!---Good! Better! Best!...Faith! Family!
Freedom! Me Mantra-sacred!
Happy
Birthday!
“Young”
Dreamer-man!
Forever-more! Pray-I! Amen!
Mon-Amie!
