engagement party

the grass stood tall, all their green hands raised in joy like a million little ring fingers, 
they are all, now newly engaged,  and want to show me their glistening diamonds they were proposed with. they are quite literally dripping in diamonds. water diamonds. the best kind. mister sprinkler head groom bent down on his rubber knee and they all said in gleeful unison,
“yessss”.

 

i am living in a fable world. 
there are lessons everywhere 
and every animal has something
to teach me.

.

 i operate in the small.

English Pear & Sweet Pea, 
we are English and we are Anglophiles. 
He compares me to a tender pear, 
soft flesh, delicate warm skin, bruised easily, 
tender to the touch, ripe and ever so sweet tasting.
and one of his many nicknames of affection, 
he calls me pod pea, for I am the tiniest, greenest, 
cheeriest little pea, 
the poppiest pea in the pod ;)
what a multi layered gift of the finest 
perfume, 
perfectly encapsulates 
me, 
in a lovely fresh fragrance, 
in a tiny glass
bottle. 

happiest 19th wedded bliss, my love..

the opposite of cacophony

I have made some new friends. 
they are composers, 
yet also off the record, 
i believe God has appointed them quiet healers. 
healers of the brain. 
their symphonies sing to me, 
strong enough to penetrate the walls of my temples, 
and begin to do their work, 
at once.
The Jazz Suite No 2: VI. Waltz 2 of Dmitri Shostakovich begins doing repairs on my brain, 
stimulating my brain’s function. 
Adagio for Strings, Op. 11 by Samuel Barber, comes in softly like an eyelash, then crescendos 
weaving my unraveled brain waves
back into the brilliantly braided tapestry it was meant to be..
the loose ends are tightened and my neuroplasticity is bouncy and taut, once again. 
the complex calming structures of Prelude No. 1 in C major, by my beloved fine friend, 
Johann Sebastian Bach has actually brought me back. 
His music has boosted my memory, sharpened my concentration, and pumped out a healthy dose of dopamine and has regulated my stress hormones.
