Speak to me...

Of fine music laced into the spirit with touches of sugar and cries of happiness.
Days filled will anticipation break years of solemnity
time time time ticking with endless painful memories knocking waiting to bombard
aching drums pound my stomach
bugles break my concentration
then the melody melts the shards of glass like flowing candied waves passing
a river flows passed the tall trees with creaking limbs and rustling leaves drip
with the affable dew sprayed upon them when i splash and tumble
it is mine this joy
it is mine this curious experience
lying satiated, weak with wonder, drops drip
i open my mouth and taste the lovely essence of my joy
in me around me the the grays become fiery crimsons and warm golden saffrons
my fingertips glow and touch my face
smiling into the orange sun i
thank you thank you thank you
love you love you love you
live you live you live you live
