Not a-far---journey...for-me!?


Come-with-me!---You’ll-like-it!...I-promise!
 
Be a “kid” again!---Just-try!...It’s so-easy! Just relax! Trust-yourself!
Take my-hand and come with-me! Feel that sweet “Whisper-wind”!
 
High on an escarpment we overlook a wide-expanse of the far-
stretching blue-Pacific bathing in an afternoon golden-sun caressing
undulating white-tipped wave-crests on their incessant-cadence to soft-
kiss the waiting sand-beach wet with excited-expectant anticipation! Wow!
 
On the emerald knoll reaching west and downward toward bright-surf
at the ocean’s-edge, just a ¼-mile from our respite, the equine-herd
stands-proud silhouetted against a blue-distance. Just-beautiful! Hmm!
 
Seven-steeds spread across the velvet-green like soft-shadows highlighting
a painting-set-Perfection! Delicately-smashed into an artist’s-canvas with 
filbert-bristles softly caressing the venue in various-shades of grey-white
to silver-tinged-blue to black-dapples flanked by jet-black tails and manes
streaked silver-black cascading like flowing ocean-waves leading attention
to the dark-intelligence of keen-eyes on-upward to refined-ears tipped-dark.
 
The herd-family munching sweet-greenery, manes and tails wild-coiffeured
by constant ocean-winds as mares watch for any-danger, taking-turns, thus
affording each member of the-family an-opportunity to munch sacred-manna.
 
Three-mares! Two-foals! A filly and a colt, each “dun”-mouse brown, changing
color completely every-month, or so, but, within two-years blossoming to silver-
grey like their muscular magnificent-sire and lovely Lady-dams, not in-frequently
suddenly bouncing straight-up to slightly-land in a stir-of-blur flashing like an
errant lightning-bolt absent-reason save to enjoy sweet-life on their-terms! Amen!
 
Enjoy my-fantasy! Indulge! Become yon Whisper-wind!---allow…Happiness!
 
I have-ridden such wild treasure-measure fantasy in-reality! Played “Drown-
Daddy-in-the-creek” after school-days with the “real”-kids; reckon that they
tolerated me as “just-one-of-the-kids”---because…I just simply-am! Hmm!?
 
And---in me wild-fantasy!...Rainbows! Butterflies! & Unicorns! Amen!
 
“But---that I might be so-bold as to “big”-dream…to soar the cosmos-wild!
And, such nirvana-delight! Just---to “Go!” When & Where!...with…Thee!
Take my-hand! Tender-hold this loving-heart! Embrace and share a kiss!
For I have been---and, am…and, upon the ’morrow-dawn may future-be!
Fear!-not to dream too-big---but, only…to limit yon fantasy-flight! Enjoy!
Life!?---Here-now! Gone in an instant-flash!...Dare! Allow the child to-Love!”
Amen!
