WATERPROOF SOUL

waterproof soul

not for sale
only for discovery
via the long and twisted paths
under the deeps
and through caverns jet
granite obstacles
razor wire
storm raged
dangerous alchemies
vapid drafts
there
fragile
beautifully precious as a child's curls
or their soft trusting palm
their big hearted hopes
and wild outlandish dreams
beyond star, even galaxy
the waterproofing
unlikely entrant
surprising companion
transforming agent
cleanse me
monsoon madness
cool my heated
sun baked being
the desert greening
oasis opulence
riveting realism
and now
the seasons, they come, they go
but
protected
tsunami proportions are
droplets
but
to
be 
purified
by 
those who
understand finally the technology of being

THE INEXPRESSIBLE JOY OF FAMILY LIFE

inexpressible joy

the splashings and acrobatics of a child filled garden
trampoline flights
punch bag combats
static hair
girly squeals
cheeky tree climbs
apple falls
family nectar
love's pollen
days of bee glade wonder
rap battles
football roars
gel wax preenings
mates and mads
tuggings and touslings
brother banter
and cousin chatter
that sweet rare quality
happiness
unity
uncorrupted moments
unassailed
unassailable
a simple silly green patch
on the vast enterprise of earth
where chuckling mirth 
and
childhood eyes alight with life
provide
the 
elixir 
of heaven
