I Want

Standard

I want to go play golf and I want to take a swim,
And I want to cook all-out after I soundly sleep in.

I want to drive around on a scenic static weekend,
Gaze all over up and down at the secular scenery,
Hop out the car at a park of nature’s maker’s mark
And go to singing shouting loving all the leaves and trees.

As I run all about around now in joyful merriment
I snatch your hand and I don’t let go of it,
Until you look me back, tell me that you’ll stay in this,
For this moment is all we have now to try not to miss.

Enjoyable Life

Standard

I am drunk yet I drink not a drop of spirit.
I am high though my feet have scarcely left the ground.
I am dreaming but my eyes dare not close a wink,
Lest I miss the fair beauty of life all around.

In every small thing,
Every mundane action,
The thrill of a day,
Or a night, is impactful.

Meaning infused in every instance
Is seen, if in err,
as mosaic on plain wall:
White with an abstract air.

And all the events in this wondrous existence
Sum up together as no others can,
To be amplified by the common human experience,
Graced and endeavored by all of man.
