LAND BREATHING DEEP AFTER RAIN

LAND BREATHING DEEP AFTER RAIN

This is a line that came to me in a dream
I held onto it until the dream was done
like you might with a thought in a car
hoping to remember it when you arrive
at a place with paper and pen

I let is sit for a couple of days
to wait for the gift to unwrap

The last line of a thousand poems
about what brings juice and joy
to my life, and maybe to yours

********************

You meet me at the airport
after a long away and a long flight
Land breathing deep after rain

Old college buddies gather for a beer
Land breathing deep after rain

Brothers and sisters at the lake
cousins building in the sand
Land breathing deep after rain

AND this is the page for you
to let your juicy joy come through
