Suddenly Stirred to Awaken
Causes beyond reckoning
Dawn peeks and smiles thru covers
Nightbirds have cease, replaced by rain drops
Thankful first thoughts as bliss rustles anew
Curled and spoon’d, improvements delight
Earth rotates to embrace as the physical ignites
Love’s gravity intwines our limbs in tantric osmosis
Faithful and still exhilarate as our first kiss, actions avowed
Heaven and Earth combine for lust thrusts in manna passioned
Pleas of content, we invent and contort and release this pent
Rocking in embrace, we have just begun, for time stands still
Patter of little feet, interrupt this moment, for we are One of Many
Drawn to our love, this day reminds us to give thanks in prayers replete
Requests are made to break fast in broad scales and Mother Nature acquiesces
She does the eggs, while I will do the bacon, little ones set anticipated tables
Gospel trios both old and knew accompany and heighten our community in joy
Praise is raised and heads bow in thanks, we our not proud, but yes, humbled
The rain stops as we clean and straighten up our home, in prep for a weeks’ tasks
Gospel sermons have given way to smooth jazz as the midday sun dries all drear
Sunday supper is ‘bout to be invented, as smells of smoked turkey furiously boils
Screen doors hinge open and close and footsteps are heard in calls and response
Sunday’s best greet and meet on tables of cornbread, and banana pudding
Greens are stirred in turkey brine and the spicey breeze of oven roast teases
Afternoon sporting games are spied while listening for community scuttlebutt exchanged
Hands gathered around the meal prepared and bless by the highest of Spirits
Amen AWomen dole out dishes piled high as metal is heard scrapping plates of enjoyment
A community gathers to clean up and compliment each other for a meal well served
Waves of so long meet the sun as it glints shards off the hills in the horizon
While sitting on the porch, rocking in chair and humming an earlier heard quartet’s tune
I rise to enter home sweet home, just as night skies signal back to have a Good Night to today’s Masterpiece!
