Requiem Softly

A Dog Named Shoe

A scraggly, mangy looking mutt,
Curiously he trolloped about,
Sniffing with his cold wet snout,
At all the fleas and everyone's knees,
And at all the birds and all the bees. . .
Sometimes stopping to wee on the trees.
Curiously on and around traveled he;
"Shoe! Shoe! Shoe!"
Sometimes they sounded sorry,
Sometimes they sounded mean;
But Shoe was hopeful,
His tail wagged dignified and doleful. . .
If only someone would be his friend;
Then he could love them 'til the end.

Bubble Soup

Bubbles in my bath,
All my favorite things except my cat,
I like to scoop them in my hand,
Then blow them up propelling everywhere,
Cheerfully I watch them in the air,
I like to knit myself a hat and coat,
Fill my boat and try to float,
I can cook bubble soup,
Stick my finger in a bubbled loop,
Swish around and make even more,
All day amusing play,
Marvelous soapy bubbles,
Soothing away all of my troubles,
Wrinkly skin and cold wet hair,
But it's so fun I don't care!

Spin I Go Again. . .

Spin. . . spin. . . spin. . . spin. . .
Stop and lay down on the ground.
Watching evertything in the sky
Continuing to whirl around.
I love to whirl and fly!
Feeling odd in haziness,
Spin. . . spin. . . spin. . . spin. . .
Enjoying the rush in dizziness. . .
Here I spin again!

Sleeping In Your Pedals...

Crazy field of daisies,
you take my breath away.
Fragrances of season's salutations,
and charmed visions of lover's lane...
Crazy field of daisies,
and light breezes saying, "hello,"
gently you've answered...
swaying synchronized.
Dreaming hypnotically,
I'm sleeping in your pedals...
Never to awaken,
delightfully I fantasize...
Crazy field of daisies,
you take my breath away.

Pass Me A Daisy To Chew On. . .

Pass me a daisy to chew on,
I'll nibble each peddle off.
Bittersweet flower meat,
Next i'll eat the middle,
Then i'll chew the stem,
Sucking the chlorophyll juices,
Chewing, chewing, chewing,
Until it's finally gone.
Then pass me another daisy,
Or even pass me two. . .
No, i'm not hungry,
Just blue,
And passing the time away.

Childish And Full Of Life To Be Painted

I want to visualize and illustrate,
Preparing a journey for you to authenticate...
For a nanve blanket you'll not weave,
And I will teach you how to diligently sieve...
Trusting and full of curiosity to be explored,
And yet to be adorned...
I want to anticipate and demonstrate,
Preparing a journey for you to validate...
Youthful and full of energy to be investigated,
And yet to be stimulated...

Elderly and full of esteem to be extraordinary,
And yet to be exemplary...
I want to magnify and navigate,
For a nanve blanket you've not weaved,
And you have taught how to diligently sieve...
Deceased and full of memories to be historical,
And yet to be chronological...
We want to fortify and appreciate,
Preparing a journey for God to congratulate.

Requiem Softly

It's ok to take a rose from my bed;
The roses intended for me,
I shall never know.
I am only here in your heart..
Whispering gently.
Time will nurture your sadness,
Requiem softly to memorize,
Thoughtfully to comprehend,
And lovingly to embrace and mend...
It's ok to cry,
With your eyes or deep inside...
Then tenderly claim your memories,
Because my body commited to this earth,
Simply released my spirit to rebirth.
