Clouds!---Free!...Umm!
Hmm!
My
“farm”-land has shrunken by some substantial-amount;
once
I rode-herd over near-400 acres, now, about a ½- acre!
Things-change!---People, too! They-say!...Me? Not-so-much!
The
farm-estate took a “young”-man with
tremendous-ambition,
a-fair
amount-of-income and a laisser-faire
“Cool” life-attitude!
Truth-be-told!
My rancher-days were one fantastic-hobby!
Yeah!
24/7-work!---A
labor-of-Love!...A smile-of-space has
filled-all-time!
If “success” be
a-measure?---Life! My-way!...be the
cached sacred-treasure!
Having
just-finished mowing the grass, I enjoyed a-respite at the patio-table
in
the filigree-shade of the ancient silver-maple tree sipping a cool-drink; my
“new”
best-friend, “Purrfect!”
Miss-Penelope, our family-kitten saved from
a
rescue-center last Fall, sat quiet at my-feet, appreciating the lawn-haircut!
Ah!
The life-of-a-cat!---A lovable
professional-bum!...Jeez!
Just-like-Me!?
Partly-cloudy
this fine early-spring day! Beautiful! Warm! Enjoyable! I-have
always
led a Blessed-life! Not-so-deserving!?
But, no-complaints! “Thank-Thee!”
Daydreaming,
I focused on the sky; cerulean with puffy white-billows! Nice!
Free!---they-are…like-me!? A-tumbleweed traversing the awesome-cosmos!
Kitty-cat seems oblivious
to my pathetic-musing, busy cleaning her white-mantle.
The
drink is half-consumed; the white-fleeces have drifted southeast blending
like
embracing fog-tendrils dancing across the early-morning calm Fox-Lake.
They
sure do move-fast, vacillating “sheep’s”-wool to ocean-waves undulations.
Not-just-so-much
different than me quick-time through
a generous-space. No-
plan!?
Not-much-ambition! Free-floating along the-day! Noticed!? By-a-few!?
Well!
I’m cool-now! (Not nearly so-much-so as I “want”
to once-remember).
Time
to challenge the other half of the yard-grass! Up! And, at-’em! Ole-man!
“Okay!
My Miss-Penelope! Rest-up! Ole kitty-cat! I have work to-do!?”
Fly! Me faded-dreams
a flicker-glimpse across yon-universe wild-ride
Remember
when the clouds were young-born in-Hope! to stem-the-tide
Amen!
