Late night with God
//
any time now
he could come
first breath
and I
waiting
try
to sleep
ohhhh creeps
ice cream
I lean
want to scream
and so
the dreams
are at bay
I turn to a craft
realizing how daft
a late night crafter can be
in between
parts
I look at the art
that is
twists and knots
once forgot
but at the banks found
pushing
shoving
nudging
till wedged
they lay
saying hey
to those
who pass their way
these things
laid on brick
now say hey
look at me today
and I
see
what our creator sees
for the first time in days
and my heart says
praise
praise that I see
praise that in this moment I can be
without fight
between heart and head
and instead
just believe...

Effervescent
Play
feet up
feet down
looking at the crown
of the world
hair dirt streaked
a whir
of green
brown
blue
nothing better to do
not a care
freedom
not flighting
but here
as each tug of my muscles
thrust me
into an oblivion
of colors
and wind
and most of all
higher
and with each new height reached
a level of breathing breeched
something now
that is all to often
beached
by heat
by cold
by babies
by growing old
why can't we play
all the more
knowing what it is for
and how rare it is
oh that beautiful effervescent bliss.
