Daydream At The Nursery
The nursery walls began to glow, come alive even
Animals began taking form, gray geese streaming
A blue tiger smiled, jubilant giraffes
Lilac panthers cavorting in crystal substances
The French-doors glass, engaging my eyes with color and fantasy
Bicycles braking through well oiled sprockets
And the walls breathing, oh so deeply
The nursery floor, patterned to resemble a surreal meadow
Above it all, ran restless rats and crazy crickets
The heated air was still
And butterflies of delicate, rose-colored seed
Wavered among the cheddar aroma of mushroom spores
There was the pitter-patter of Okapi feet
And the listless murmur of fresh jungle rain
Like horses hooves padding upon the starched summer grass
Alas, as the guards came running, urging the children forward
Timing their every movement to coincide with what
With what nature here, had intended
This little paradise of lustrous color and looming tropical scent
Where the children played and made a day of it
Had finally come to an end, and made wondrous wonders
Shall I, come back again
And spend my day
Just watching
And letting my troubles
Fade away
Indeed,
A most pleasant
Day...

My Dear Brother Poet Tony,
.
Mother Nature's sacred children, frolic freely for the day
In her secret little Paradise, she watches as they play
Mankind is barred from being privy, about this irenic Blessed place
For he would quickly come and rob it, of it's beauty and it's grace
.
Yet there are few souls of gentility, that she sends a lovely dream
To show them there is an unknown place, where love is the extreme
She honors their soul's goodness, and tells them there will be a day
When they too will come to Paradise, and with her children they will play
.
Peace, Love and Rockets,
Larry xxx
