In the twilight of this morning
As the bird began her song
I was watering the garden
For the frost had come along
'Mongst the tender shoots of green
Within the fertile soil so sweet
Lay a dozen deep . . .

What if a feather lit upon my shoulder
sticking there
Joined by a hundred others,

Would I be blessed and for all of humanity . . .

Clouds obscure the sun
Cold and dank this new moon day
Weather's right for fun
Music soothes my sleepy head
Cobwebs of the night
Dreams of you while in my bed
Fade just . . .

It was an honour to care for you, my friend.
Tho you could hardly talk,
Your eyes spoke volumes
As we smiled and "remembered the time"
It was my privelege to gently
rub your tired flesh . . .

I feel lost I feel caught 'tween
this life and some other
Too fuzzy can't focus
on you right now lover

only here I'm out there too
Stop talking hush baby . . .

My heart skips a beat.
Suddenly, people become blurs and their voices just so much buzzing...... like bees.
I cannot focus, not even on my own feet!
Sound becomes louder now, and this buzz is nearly deafening. . . .

A lot has been said about mind over matter.
Can we really effect the outcome of an event, or even change reality?
Some say no, that reality is stagnant and that is that.
Others not only claim the possibility, . . .

I stretch and yawn
I greet the dawn
I'm smiling
As I thank the Sun
Inhaling deep
This moment sweet
To carry with me

We had this moment
It's still . . .
