WHERE LOVE LOOMS....THERE, HAPPINESS BLOOMS (a tale of two birds and a tree) Perched upon the Sage tree, Happiness in dismay His tuft of dazzling feathers in utter disarray His robust chest was sunken, his eyes in empty stare His neck flopped at an angle, a soul in deep despair Clipped upon his sharp beak, was a ring of solid gold Right around his third toe, a diamond to behold A single stone of emerald adorned his fluffy neck His precious trove of treasures, these a trifle speck Gloom upon the Sage tree, silence unwound in bales Are you not Happiness, the trail of merry tales? Tell me of your travels, fill my slender stems With tales from distant places and news from fabled realms Youve perched upon the scrapers, Youve perched upon the huts Youve perched upon the sherman and hopped on willows knots Youve flapped across the races and felt the diverse vibes Pray, drench my thirsty branches with tales from yonder tribes Ill tell you of my sojourn; Ill fill your thirsting bowls But, pray, Sage tree, tell me, how do I help those wrangling souls? Do I drop for him more emerald? Do I drop for her more gold? Quarrels and strife persistent, tussles in droves unfold Squabbling before their angels, territories and borders drawn She points at him a pestle; he points at her a gun Rancor, incessant vexing sipping through their windowsills Divisions by utter nonsense, My soul, repulsion feels Dense was his darkness so the Sage consents to speak Stare into the heavens, there, youll see the key they seek She alights unto my branches to sway in the whistling breeze The rhythm of dainty ballads tumbling forth to bring release Her scent, a surreal romance of jasmine, candy and dawn Those hops, a dance of hope, with her gaze right into the sun When she looms over the strata, beauty for all in sight Soft wings spread out in tandem, beauty that buds delight I speak of serious matters, you speak of a blistering dame? I perched on you for counsel, you think its all a game? Ive chased elusive dragons and suckled on breasts of vine Fleeting were the pleasures, my soul in steep decline Suddenly, a whiff of jasmine through vents in the heavens lawn Is that a hint of candy? ..... and the scent of a breaking dawn? Is this a mere illusion? Barely subtle. An olfactory sigh His angst snaps back in wonder and he scans an unbounded sky Whoops! where comes this hurricane in the midst of clear blue skies? Heeelp! Please help! I am naked, Oh my leeeaaaves! the Sage tree cries The Sage is yet to notice, Happiness flaps spurred up these gales Gloom replaced with glee buds, Loves scent up yonder hails Looming above in the heavens, Love is set to descend in flight Far below is Happiness, Gaze up, to ascend in might Midway,.... Out there! ...Spectacular! An entwine at the cosmic brow As Happiness looks into Loves eyes, he whispers...... I get it now Lets fly on to the rainbow so I can deep some brushes in I will there dust up the dark clouds and my hands will thus begin I will paint for all your picture with strokes of varying depth I will create for all a master to span the heavens breadth If they ask of me the reason youre placed across the sky If they seek to know the reason why Love is looming high Ill drop my voice to a whisper and hope this answer booms Where Love looms .....there, Happiness blooms ....................................................Wish you all the love and loving atim ........................... I
