I saw reality today.
dressed in torn jeans
or puffy jackets
in strollers with parents
people using walkers or canes
all ages and abilities
families and friends
the roll of cleaning carts
books and iPhones
board games and visiting
an all around aroma and sizzle
of cooking foods of any cuisine, the wipe of micro rags cleaning tables, woven through it all
the hum of humanity in the Food Court.
“One love, one heart, one destiny.”
~ Robert Marley
Daily routine
~ a buoy
that has kept me afloat
~ a parasail and board
has kept me riding the waves
in the roiling seas of life.
“In the shapeliness of a life, habit plays its sovereign role.”
~ Mary Oliver, Long Life: Essays and Other Writings
Looking to the skies,
to the clouds
where the imagination flies ~
I thought it was a bird,
until the glint of sun on wings
as it tipped into a turn.
“The world of reality has its limits; the world of imagination is boundless.”
~ Jean-Jacques Rousseau
