Sparkle
Sapphire
star
That sky looked
like power dust
of crushed pure
child-dream
love of parents
love and joy
of clean fresh
sapphire sky
morning from the
crib sky and
clean laundry
blues and
bright sparkles
of dancing
stars of
life in the
room
in the hallway
down stairs
where they dry
the azure towels
and the color
the shower
curtain in the
sun when it's wet
with dolphins
in blue that
shimmer as the
sapphire sand
drains down
the hourglass
but the gems
seem to hang in
the air as baby
splashes the
water and mom
and dad are
always love.
Blue of joy
eye blue
seem by eyes
of all colors (it
is not an eye
color things this
joy of sparkle)
Such things,
just plastic?
just glass?
just a colored
shampoo?
The color was there
on the ocean in
the sun with the
waves breaking on
the stones
from the pegmatite
of some ancient age
and sapphire sand
spills below the waves
painting the sea
in colors of
finest gems.
More precious
than any gem
this sapphire soul
of pure love
sleeps in his
crib.
Mom and Dad's
joy
you were
in the
sapphire world
of how you
grew up when
you knew
the joy
is real
(forever
real)

With a beautiful smile
It seems wrong, just wrong, what some people
do to get attention. And I am an expert in these
things. So you'd better listen to me or else . . .
well, really, there are no consequences.
Lately it's been all of the days marching
forward into the enevitability of Thanksgiving
in a couple of weeks. And that will be a long
drive to a cold place to sleep on a hard bed
in a stuffy Summer room in Autumn. the
smell of old ant spray will be heavy in the
air. I must remember to bring my HEPA air
filter.
I get accused af always writing the story.
I write the story of this one and that one
and how they drove to such and such place
and had a meal and a couple of beers or
something else and take a walk on a long
path near a gorge or up a mountainside
or beside a lake out in a boat with
horizons of Addirondack Sunset warm in the
summer evening. But it hasn't been that
for me in a while. I'm here in Massachusetts.
No big lake sunsets here.
I do get a good small lake sunset here. The
Addirondack Sunset (from Vermont) really
is the most supurb kind for me. You get
that faraway twilight glow along the horizon.
It's awesome. So it will be good to go and
see it.
If you go up to Grand Isle make sure, if
you're coming from the south and along US Route 2,
that you stop at the sandbar cause way half way
from Milton to Grand Isle. Stop there and realize
that you are in the middle of the lake.
Then you can drive up to the ferry, leave the
car, take a round trip ferry ride. If you time it
right you will get to see the very famous and
always beautiful Adirondack Sunset.
Look for my short story by the same name.
