Once-upon-a-time...

 

Once-upon-a-space-in-time---an anomaly?…”me”…

 

A Rebel! Rascal! Rogue! Rapscallion!---a-purpose focused…and, by-design!

 

Not-so-much!---This (simple-humble) anomoly-me!?...never-was!---Still…ain’t!

 

A-“tumbleweed”---on the tornado-periphery!?...or, in the whirlwind-center!?

 

Been to the “mountain”---a time, or, twenty?…sweet-kissed yon deep-blue sea!

 

Petted myriad refined-horses---rode a few…admired them all…love every-one!

 

I-be the “progeny” of two very-fine families!---Luck-’o-the-draw!...I reckon-so!

 

Found Supreme-Happiness!---in sacred-Love!...a deep appreciation of sacred-Life!

 

A Holy-Spirit “Grace”-mantra!---Live! Love! Laugh!...Faith! Family! Freedom!

 

Good-enough is absent effort!

Better ignites sacred-ambition!

Best celebrates Supreme-success!

 

Shortly before friend-Michael passed---“Tell-me where you-are!?”…If I-can!?

 

7-years! Still-waiting!---No-hint!?...Maybe? I just don’t know “how” to listen!?

 

Not-much of a “joiner”!?—A-loner!?...Perhaps?...An Independent-Individual!

 

But, throughout it-all---a-“plan”? What?…Ha!---me?...any-structure!? Hmm!

Fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants!---Improvise!...Make-do!? Sounds-right!

 

Live! Love! Laugh! Focus-contemplate!

Vigilant-be! No-one’s future is ever late!

 

Me-metaphoric “golden”-crown?---7-diamond jewels!...The very-Love! of my-life!

Lovely-Lady Candice Leah! Beth! Becky! Z. Tyler! Lauren! Lexi! My Annie-Rie!

 

Non-materialistic! Me!---Had all the-toys!...Homes! Cars! Pools! Farms! Horses!

Never held much coin of silver/gold!---Enough!...The bank had surplus in a vault!

Gee! I played the-game of-“living”!---Not-hording!...What’s it so-much all about!?

 

Faith! Family! Freedom! Might just be all there really---Is!

In one eternal-instant the only mercy-blessing will be…His!

 

When I knock-on the Pearly-Gates---“Anybody”-home?...Will ole-Peter send me back!?

Amen!
