Happy Birthday! "Carlos-the-gardener" (Senior-humor)

 
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!
