by Brian Francis Life abounds as nature’s gambles find a way breathing in deep a full embrace with relish oceans with the flavor of life in solution wash in waves stirring the margin a beckoning call forests rife with gifts of love from a caring mother a table in full regalia in constant harvest gather it and honor the sacrifice of nature more a sign of respect than an act of worship the gifts of the cornucopia of life for us. Yet all of this is not enough as stars calling offer a promise of fulfillment yet unattained As dreams drive us to peer deeper to dream more to imagine a tomorrow of our own making A future where we reach out and touch god’s face in doing so we become aware of the reflection in the mirror Compassion’s tears wash away the self image created delusions shatter bearing their many faceted falsehoods painted upon our souls while dreaming our dreams Copyright © 2020 brian francis |
