a few heavy raindrops
bathed happily dancing
in my garden's bird bath
dew drenched, wet
demure flycatcher blushes
at her vermilion mate
lying supine
I see passing
puffing clouds fair
lying supine
I see gray puff
passing clouds fair
lying supine
I see too gray
sure, all is fair
Ponder the old pestles and mortars
used at times in apothecaries,
older drug emporium quarters.
Some of the porous surface was shared
by grinding both mortar and pestle
ending up in medicines prepared.
Do today's microplastics alarm you?
Minute particles endanger us all;
microwavable repercussions? Whew!

IRON MAIDEN - A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH:
The Legacy [Gers / Harris]
-----------------------------------------------------
Tell my family
I am not coming back
I am sent off to war
I signed up for this
I am trained to fight
I fight nobody
Tell them truth
I am well off among
The dead and the dying
I can’t be maimed
I can’t be idle
I am trained to die
Tell them, I prayed
To give y’ll strength
To bear my loss
For I am sent to war
To bear the cross of
Someone’s ego and lies
Tell my mother
Birth is cheap
Death is cheaper
Son of soil, they call me
I fight for soil, yet
I yearn for peace
Tell my brother
Fear not death
I die for other, just like the other
Tell my sister
Not to pray for me
But to pray for peace
Let peace be bought
Not by blood, not by money
But by His Divine Grace

joyful earth
divine love
mystic daze
subtle sound
dizzy beats
rhythm control
floating floor
giddy dance
ego spins
repeat turn
sway slowly
receive grace
