ESSENCE OF LIGHT

Spread wide your armsand let the wings unfurl,soar into your essence of light,cradled by the loving energyrippling through the river of the universe,

weaving through the tapestry of time...And feel the freedom of your soul...

THE TENNIS GAME

Eyes lasering in on the ball,
backspin,
top spin,
side spin,
no spin?
Legs running,
feet jumping,
toes tripping,
arms swinging,
heart pumping,
blood rushing,
lungs bursting,
mouth gasping,
cheeks blazing,
sweat pouring,
ball hitting,
ball missing,
ball in,
ball out,
hands clapping,
mouths shouting,
tongues cursing,
lips screaming,
racquets throwing,
movement thrilling,
endorphins fizzing,
exuberance peaking,
exhaustion winning,
eyes glowing.

Thank heavens for the wonderful child remote!

Children laughing,
screaming,
shouting,
frazzled mother
searching,
searching,
searching...
Children screaming,
shouting,
laughing,
frazzled mother
searching,
searching,
searching...
Children shouting,
screaming,
laughing,
frazzled mother
searching,
searching,
searching...

Where is it?
Can't find it?
Ah, got it!
Mute button pressed...
Ah, what quiet!
What bliss!
Did someone say
'Silence is golden'?
What a truly marvellous quote...
Thank heavens
for the wonderful child remote!
