Beloved Things Black clothes, beautiful prose Rain dances, holistic healings My selenite crystal, Fair business dealings Fairy Tales, make believe Making commitments, Men who don't leave Good hair days Ancient kingdoms, jewelry gifts My pianoforte A successful artifice New Age music, A day at the beach Dancing Deadheads, clean sheets Newborn babies, Straw puppy beds Jarring fireflies Brown hair with blue eyes And catching phonies In their lies Graveyard dates, Eccentric people Losing weight,Expunging pain Trickling down my window, Droplets of rain Katydids and peepers, the month of June Travel, chaos, beneath the full moon Intellectual conversing, Making the connection, Spontaneous diversion,Bodies free from infection. Children laughing, Social gaffing Easter bonnets, Shakespeare's sonnets When beautiful is ugly My dog named Pugsley The way he smells Working in my garden, Ground-covered bluebells Righting wrongs,my father's songs Long weekends ,money to spend Shopping at the mall, A day with my best friend Rose' vino, and cappuccino Quite Time, sleeping in My dearest brothers Fun without sin That Pisa leans And my Levi jeans That birds have wings When my telephone rings That I've lived to know These Beloved Things. |
