Sun. Fun; Rest. Life
brings love and joy for the gently humble
The beginning of birds chirping lit my
day. What comes forth is just subtle claps of clouds parting. It is
the gentle breeze of grass growing. So goes the simple task of
getting up to just get milk from the fridge.
These are healing verses. Not the ones
those are used too. Too much is made of clasping whirlwinds.
Tornadoes demand notice, but not so these days. Winds that rock are
easy to find beauty in it. Destruction is an observation that often
demands notice. Beauty is the consolation of death. With television
and fake beauty all around, it's often thrilling to notice crying
little devils in the background ripping it apart demanding that their
pain take notice.
And then what? What for? What matter if
shreds tear apart the floor if there be no marble to replace it?
Too many settle for empty chores and
banging clacks to distract from silent spaces and nick knacks.
Give me an ice cream sandwich any day.
The birds chirping that do not demand. They celebrate.
Life provides and they sing.
It is easy for the male and female
birds to chirp back. They light up the sun.
It is easy for dogs to look up and
comfort me.
Life is simple.
It is easy for me to take walks and
enjoy ice cream.
A broken guitar offers no beauty. It is
only a distraction.
Face the music all around you, if you
can bear to hear your eggs crack.
I cook sausage while watching the sun
rise.
It holds no irony.
Sausage is sausage. It snaps, crackles
and pops.
It makes the sun glaze in my eyes.
There is where beauty rests. It doesn't
prepare me for the day.
It informs me that I am the day as the
sun glazes through my eyes.
So rests my soul.
Yours rests here too, if you let it.
