Reawakened! A Toast Then ...

Folks with whom I've already shared this poem like it, so, after a long silence here, I offer it:

A TOAST THEN

Anna's hummingbirds
& years fly 
past 

so fast 
all you want
is

a laughing 
friend who'll share 
songs

with an
ear for melody, 
harmony,

perhaps sing 
along, offer not 
overly 

critical suggestions, 
knowing that whichever 
way 

the wind 
blows, rain comes 
eventually, 

eases the 
dryness, whets your
appetite 

for answers 
to epistemological questions, 
helps 

your garden 
grow. A toast 
then: 

to the 
continuing revolution 
of 

the planet and 
to morning glories 
turning 

their faces 
to the rising
sun!
