I sit at ice shore Lachine Canal docks
The water rises and the waves rush in
My March solstice moon sets out to begin
Upon the islands where they interlock
A miniature toy, a gigantic piece
I watch it soar towards Horizon’s lines
September Eleventh is on my mind
I see the airplane in the sky fly east
And I know we will meet in Nirvana
This I promise you, you will have a place
Upon my white unicorn you will grace
Reserved only for a prima Donna
Join me for a toke of marijuana
Climb up on my virgin winged white stallion
Protect with a pectoral medallion
As I ride to meet you in Nirvana
The rainbow, stars, internal light are yours
When we’re in the Heavens to share and grasp
Where time stalls and defiantly will lapse
And leave behind Earth and the bloody Wars
These earthly pains of life amongst sorrow
Erased into infinity will be
These pains give me enlightenment to see
That there will always be a tomorrow

Wow. This is such a simple piece, yet holds a lot of meaning, for me, and I'm sure everyone who reads it. I love that you can take the simplest notions, such as Nirvana, and make them so utterly lovable.

PS It's too bad I haven't been around recently, I've been missing out on a lot of your poetry. How are you doing by the way? It's definitely been a long time. -
A wonderful thought to end your beautiful poem with, "There will always be a tomorrow" Today is constant and tomorrows are to dream about,although we must live each day to it's full capacity for who knows what tomorrow will bring.Your poem lightens the senses with beauty, Ros

thanks so much for your comments. Makes a gal feel guilty she doesn't comment alot, cause you are such a nice, real person. Sounds lame, I know, but I'm typing this on a school computer. Anywho, I always read, not so much comment. As usual, this poem is a confectionary of words, air, delicate, and rich.

Exquisite
And there will always be a tomorrow as you meet together on the morrow.Love and bliss will fill your hearts knowing that you will never be apart again.Imagery is fresh,chilly and invigorating with an acceptance of the inevitable but the sureness of new life to come.Fly high my friend on the wings of an Angel,the thought of a friend.Simply beautiful.Feel blessed to share this with you,My Lord.Stay well.Elizabeth. -
Beautiful background and lovely picture I liked the rhyme here Great imagery This had a hint of darkness but was mostly full of hope
Keep writing I loved the spiritual nature of this write A little fantasy filled, too Good use of alliteration
All the best
