It’s been a while since you

Felt much. Laughed much. Cried much.

It’s been a while since you

Cared enough. Hugged enough. Understood enough.

It’s been a while since you

Jumped up. Aimed up. Flew up.

It’s been a while since you

Prayed some. Gave some. Took some.

It’s been a while since you

Stumbled across. Dashed across. Slithered across.

It’s been a while since you

Dropped all. Hated all. Forgot all.

It’s been a while since you

Stood straight. Thought straight. Looked straight.

It’s been a while since you

Made sense. Wrote sense. Ate sense.

It’s been a while since you

Dreamed big. Imagined big. Hoped big.

It’s been a while since you

Broke standards. Upheld standards. Ignored standards.

It’s a while since you

Kept it simple. Absorbed it simple. Smelled it simple.

It’s been a while since you did anything.

But in that nothing you did everything.

It’s been a while since you lived like that

But what’s the point if all you lived is that

It’s been a while.

It’s been a while.

Wednesday Wiseness: In an ideal world…

In an ideal world,

Trees would tap dance on the mountains,

begging the Creator to never stop the fountains.

The Sun would weep a river of yolk,

after a day’s treachery of tiny folk.

In an ideal world,

Death would come back to life,

after sipping tea with an end so rife,

Blood would pay,

and money would snooze on idle hay.

In an ideal world,

Colors would matter only when in a rainbow,

and not when on skin, flag or spiritual glow.

Angels would hear our voices,

but silence, most favoured  among the choices.

In an ideal world,

Thoughts would echo from the brain,

and make castles of fire in the rain.

Walking backwards never cause for a frown,

anything up, would never come down.

In an ideal world,

Unicorns would come over for dinner,

where you’d share a plate of lily liver.

Nothing would be crazy,

Except lies, hypocrisy and a bum so lazy.

In an ideal world,

Children would never cry,

Sparrows would never die.

Spring would follow spring,

Love is all that you’d need to bring.

In an ideal world.

My ideal world.

*** That’s my ideal world. What’s yours?
