Musings on Life, Love, and Linguine-Poetry & Writing
Dewdrops on Morning Grass
From high in lush greening mesquite
desert thrasher sings a sweet refrain
to a honeydew ripened rising sun
as it paints the morning desert
His lonely unearthly melody
of nostalgic blues makes me wonder
how disparate my life may be
had I chosen another pathway
But soon this misty thought dissipates
like sparkling dewdrops on morning grass
for what good use is always looking back
when our past is past, over and done
So today I will accept my destined fate
the wise gods have bestowed upon me
I’ll drink of sweet blood-dark orchid wine
savoring each luscious sip, grateful
