Taking time

To watch a cat nap-

Languidly lying

In the sun,

Soft fur

Like butter

Melting on the bed.

Blue eyes closed

But ears alert

Anticipating anything alarming

On a hot summer day.

Does TGIF apply
If you're on vacation?

Hot Town

Cool Jazz Festival

In Mears Park

To capture a soul

In the eyes

Of a painter

To squeeze out

The passion

In the sorrow

Of a tear

To draw in the empathy

The compassion

Of huamnity

To see the moment

Of history and the future

In a glance

To visit the Art Museum

Arms aching
Standing on legs
Swaying like spaghetti
Head full of pollen
Nose full of scents
Satisfied by a good day
In the garden.

No DMB
No parties
No festivals
Or trips
Just a beautiful Monday morning
And a blank day all stretched out
In front of me.

Flaming Lips set the stage for a wonderful River's Edge Festival

 

DMB on a wonderful summer night at the River
