Day 335 - Simple Joys

If we can just sit, day in and out here

And tell tales of when we jumped the trains

Of how we enjoyed the spring water so clear

Singing along our moonshine lit lanes

Together we taught each other to celebrate

Long and hard and free as the wind blows

We would laugh, it was the epitome of great

Just as we sit in our messy old rows

Sitting here we know the simple joys

No need for anything but a song with the boys

Day 285 - Then You Came Along

Honestly I stopped looking, long ago

For that bright piece of my day, that glow

But lying next to you I begin to see

Just how wondrous the small things can be.

That strand of pink in your hair

Causes me, daily, to stop and stare

At the golden partners surrounding it

My heart comes more alive in my chest, pounding it

In a smooth rhythm you would adore

So I sit down at your piano once more.

Your piano keys play the strings of my heart

My fingers find the right ones and start

To lay down all the wonders there

Of how you and I became a pair

Notes are expressing it just right today

And so louder and louder I begin to play

To awaken you gently from sleep, sunshine

How blessed I am to call you mine.

Day 231 - Raining Innocence

Well truth only likes the rain

For the simple ripple effect

That the water can obtain

Creating everything once again, perfect

Laughter echoes differently here

In this essential time

Purifying opportunities are clear

As agelessness hits a prime

Ivory essences perch upon

Green blooming curlicues

A quiet message falling on

The human lying dues

Children see faeries in this haven

When water spills from many a cloud

The tinkling, as if on a shiny tin

Makes them each gleefully proud

To be a part of the storm puddles

Whilst innocence shades them calmly

Because the older world foolishly huddles

Though life here flows about psalm-ly
