The decade of the Aughts


"Uncharacteristic Rollercoaster Emotion"


Here it is a happy day, mellifluous laughter, Oh God, yes I pray for the wondrous of feelings, the rapturous intent
And to think I have gained more than I ever spent, On the slightest of measures, measure more rather than less
This feeling of goodness, never better I profess.....

And again a joyous sound is heard, a kind gentle glance, blissful thoughts overheard.
In the glimpse of a life and the bond of a muse, The most happy of feelings, those are ripe, wholly fused
And a feeling of goodness, Just the kind I can use.....

But as the days grow long and light, and a feeling so strong bears me through the night
I can't help but wonder at the size of it all, gracious muse in the mist, blessed with God's gentle thrall
And I'm so glad to bear witness to this kind call.....

But can connections so slight and so infinite be, a clarion to love or false reality,
Will the muse ever speak the words I know she will say, of will she ask questions as I do today.
And as I give thanks to the Lord, I still must surely pray.......

Help me to bear the weight of your pain, and to live rich with wisdom, through sun and the rain
Falling hard on the knowledge that love exists in life's presence
As certain as feeling has a sharp effervescence......

Uncertain feeling, falling up falling down, looping sideways and over and upside down
Rollercoaster emotion, playing fast with thought and time,
Emotions falling forever toward the cycle of thought and time....

Here it is, a happy day, I will hear from love's messenger, and again I will pray,
Is the answer to life's questions in my datebook for today, and am I ready for the emotions to be put into play,
And will I get to feel what I set out to feel today?????

dedicated to the lovesearch yet again......convince me.......believe me.......respect me........retreive me
