SLAM!

"On the freshly mown grass"

I lay on my back on the freshly mown grass
close my eyes for a moment at the passing of day,
mark the sibilant silence of encroaching night
no tv or dvd to make faster time pass,
give thanks for the intrinsic gifts of each day
lyrical, not harsh as white noise artificial lights.

I wait for the silence to speak of times past
before venturing reluctant into Morpheus’ domain;
I listen for their music and watch for the lights
of crickets and fireflies commencing their repast
beneath moonlit skies, breeze kissed maple limbs sway
each movement and breath plying nature’s delight,
present and past in my mind blend and twist…

We lay on our backs on freshly mown grass
he hears my dreams of being star-bound someday
his eyes reflect starlight, his words encourage my flight;
'work hard if you believe and dreams do come to pass';
believing, I weave him our story right away
of space-bound adventurers on plumes of starlight.

I smile, memory for a moment recast,
I hum with cicadas, watch shooting stars at play;
whispers of fireflies give memories real might;
I believe for a moment that hope once so vast
lives on as I write down the story once cast;
dreams and hope kept safe by one caring heart’s refrain
until past, present and future one day I greet in the mist.
