(Poem of the Week)
Sequin green humming
flutters from flower to flower,
and a baby bunny hopped by
not two feet from me—
he stopped to say hi.
The birds are chirping,
the insects sing.
Such a beautiful morning
the Mother Goddess has blessed me;
and the Holy Spirit
comforts my soul,
casting his golden white light.
Life has so much more to offer
than an ugly bottle of whiskey
could ever provide.
That bottle lies to you—
a devil dressed in a tuxedo,
smelling like spice
with hints of vomit
and dank sweat.
So, brew some coffee, my friend.
Take a deep breath, and savor it.
Jump into the shower and feel the clean
water wash over your body
mind, and soul.
And start your day over again.
Better. Blessed.
Beautifully fresh.
