sun up friday november 29th
just another day? an ordinary dawn?

i put my old worn jeans on.
the ones with holes torn,
skin exposed to elements,
thin material threadbare,
daring the wind.

we stand sure,
the expanse of orange pink
azure luring sillouetted branches,
our horizon seen
in between panes
and pleasures,
two shoulders
underneath two shoulders;
beneath, his arms wrapped
firm around my waist, the taste
of his salty sweet cheek on my tongue.

it is a young day and i celebrate him,
the dim morning brightening, the
lightning rod grounding our hope,
the scope and extent of his being
seeing me, freeing me to open.

today is his.
he is Poetry. he is Youth.
he is Art and Musical Truth.
i am Wealthy with
Healthy breaths of Joy,
exploring his Worth.

today we celebrate his Birth,
thankful for his breathing,
appreciative of his Presence,
unwrapping the sun rise
of him.

he sees
and writes us down.
we read him, cries and laughter
seeking after his realizations,
elated in his aura, the plethora
of his pen, his lyric, his melody,
our blessing.

Happy Birthday, Lightning Rod!
