Pockets

I hope that God won’t turn His back I hope the Lord leaves just a crack Where I may slip within His heart To beg him for a silver cart. Please…no gilded chariot of old With creaky wheels of flaking gold That split and peel along the way Then hurriedly fly, to run astray. Grant to me please mithril spokes So rancid air’s not trapped nor choked By thoughtless words of those whose trade Is flipping hearts to darkened spades. I beseech and beg for happy thoughts To share with others who’re distraught A boutonnière to better cope A broach for pockets. filled with hope.

Venice in train: a warning about pickpockets ... read aloud, just by him, himself thief of hearts: train floating on the waves, grass moved by wind as waves stirred by a flower dropped into water of the unknown Canaletto. It was lovely to meet you everywhere: the same eyes that resembled your poems in which you see the same world from vaporetto floating on the unknown canaletto.

I hope the Lord opens up a crack for your wonderful imagination to slip into. The wonderful Mikki is long over due. Love, daver

Love that "silver cart," and the "mithril" spokes. Choice of words here make harmonious sounds, eye catching, mystic. I remember the word, mithril - is it Tolkien? Been so long since I read the Lord of the Rings, I can't remember just what that magic stuff does. Love, daver
