Milk Chocolate     October 25, 2009

 

sometimes

I just seem to be

upside down

heart of me

all exposed

stripped bare

lonely

then I see

beauty

caught

upside down

not wasted

precision mastered

milk chocolate gills

calling me to see

worth in being 

upside down

​

 

silly perhaps

awkward certainly

yet loved

just because my laughter

tastes of milk chocolate

as friends sip

from my gaiety

the upside down

child I am

now past sixty

still finding smile

within tattered mushroom

laughing with my Lord

laughing together

crouched side-by-side

Creator and child

exploring forest floor

​
