evening grins
slowly rusting away
in the habit of its own small amusements
dust begins its career of laying down once again
working this time so persistantly on the
television's screen
happy to just have something of its own to do
the comfort of the living room
speaks through the hum of the furnace
and the gentle breathing of the dogs so still
as they dreamlessly slumber on
in these larger than soul moments
life is suddenly so perfectly condensed
to one centralized otherworldly pool
of dense self awareness
such an old yet still so new reflection
of the idea that THIS IS LIFE SURROUNDING ME
my true self so old and truly untouched
this experience so great yet so brief
even in the mediocre lulls of
laundry
dishes
errands
vacuuming
and sleeping
and yet its here
(and such a most amazing here)
in the middle of my living years
the most beautiful loving chapter of my life
came to be written
and it moves me to truly realize
that the peek isn't even upon the horizon
of my over view
yes indeed childhood rhyme
MERRILY MERRILY MERRILY...........LIFE IS BUT A DREAM!

"...life is suddenly so
"...life is suddenly so perfectly condensed/to one centralized otherworldly pool/of dense self awareness..." Melissa had a knack for condensing emotion so tightly you can not get out. Rest in peace, lady L.
