THEY ARRIVED
BY DELIVERY
LATE IN THE DAY
OR ACTUALLY
EVENING:
THE END
AS THEY SAY,
I FOUND A SHORT
MESSAGE
AND OPENED
THE DOOR,
AND THERE WAS
THE BOX,
A RECENT
DELIVERY
SMILING AT ME
WAITING TO OPEN
SO THAT I
COULD SEE
THE BRIGHT
SHINING SANDALS
THAT CAME
AS A GIFT,
ONE TO MYSELF
A WONDERFUL LIFT,
GLOWING IN SUNSET
SPARKLING THE DAY
I SLID THEM
ON MY TENDER FEET
AND SMILED AWAY,
AND DREAMED OF
MY WALK
THROUGH THE
NEIGHBORHOOD,
THE MEDICINE
KEEPING ME
SMILING AND GOOD,
MY OLD REEFS
WERE WORN
AND FALLING APART
THE TIME HAD JUST
COME FOR
A SUPER NEW START,
AND WHAT
BETTER WAY
TO LOOSEN THE
HEART
AWAY FROM SUCH
DEMONS THAT
FOLLOW US ALL
IT’S BECOME THE
NEW SEASON
TO PLAY CRANKY BALL,
EVERYONE’S EDGY
GROWLING
AND MASKED,
ARRIVING WITH
GRUMBLES
AWAITING THEIR
TASKS,
SO EACH DAY
I TRAVEL
ALONE IN THE TREES
WALKING ALONG
WITH A BEND
IN MY KNEES,
STEADILY BREATHING
THAT WILD SALTY
AIR,
IT GIVES ME THE
FEELING
THAT SOMEONE
IS THERE
EDGING ME ON
TO MUCH BETTER
THINGS,
WALKING ALONG
WITH THE BIRDS
ON THE WING,
MY FINE NEW
BRIGHT RAINBOWS
ARE CALLED BY
LORRAINE,
NOT SURE WHO
THAT WAS
OR HOW IT BECAME,
BY DELIVERY
LATE IN THE DAY
OR ACTUALLY
EVENING:
THE END
AS THEY SAY,
I FOUND A SHORT
MESSAGE
AND OPENED
THE DOOR,

NOT SURE WHO

BUT THE PICTURE
I SEE
IN MY SWEET SOUL
MIND
IS A WOMAN WHO
CAME TO MY SHOW,
SHE WORKS AS
A NUDE GAL
A MODEL
FOR PAY,
QUIET AND COOL
MAKING THE DAY
AN AMAZING
SCHOOL,
I THINK OF
THIS LADY
AS I TREK
UP THE HILLS
WEARING MY
LORRAINEBOWS
FIRST TIME
WITH CHILLS,
FOR SOMETIMES
THEY BLISTER
THOSE NEW
AND TIGHT GUYS
WITH A FAT LITTE
BUBBLE
(QUITE A SURPRISE),
BUT THIS TIME
IS NO CRIME,
MY MIND IS ABOVE,
FILLED WITH
THE SCENT
OF THANKFUL
GOOD LOVE,
I KNOW I’M SO
LUCKY
TO JUST BE ALIVE,
WAVING AT
STRANGERS
AS THEY PASS ME BY,
I REMEMBERED
A MESSAGE
READ IN THE NIGHT
FROM THE
CURIOUS MIND
OF THE GOOD
DAHLI LAMA:
HE SAID YOU MUST
DISCERN THE TIMES
OF WHICH
TO WORRY,
AND TOSS OUT
THOSE OTHER
THINGS
IN QUITE A HURRY,
FOR OFTEN
WE CANNOT
MAKE SENSE OF
IT ALL,
SO IT TAKES
A SMART COOKIE
TO ABSORB
THE CALL,
AS I LOOK DOWN
TO SEE
MY LOVELY
GOOD TOES
HAPPY AND
COMFY
IN THOSE
LORRAINEBOWS,
THE LITTLE
THINGS
COUNT,
YOU’D BETTER
BELIEVE,
OPEN YOUR
HEART
AND LET IT RECEIVE
THE GIFTS OF
THE GODS,
THE TINYIEST
DOVES
WHO GROW
LIKE A SAPLING
WATERED
WITH LOVE,
SO TRAVEL
YOUR TRAILS
WITH COURAGE
AND SMILES
SHOP FOR SOME
RAINBOWS
RELEASE ANGRY
TRIALS,
LIVING IN HAPPINES
IS QUITE
A SHOW,
JUST CLOSE
YOUR SWEET
EYES
AND PICTURE
LORRAINEBOWS!
