Dawn on the Front Lawn 7/17/12

I rode the train

taking a day

to relax before work begins

the placid scenes of marshes

and well appointed homes

flatlands and vast expenses

the cul-de-sacs

and the promises

of fine cuisines

then the vision

of Carolina and me

dancing in the driveway

of our own two bedroom dream

getting soaked by the sprinkler

laughing carelessly

while thru their picture windows

the neighbors ponder the meaning

of this frivolous suburban spectacle

we don't feel their eyes

for in that moment

there is only the two of us

and the promise of intimate moments

and greater realizations

a never forgotten

and often repeated sensation

a ritual of thanks

a prayer service

on the front lawn

to celebrate the dawn

of a love made whole

with one journey done

and the next one just begun
