Road to Recovery...still battling empty nest syndrome
many a december twenty forth gone by,
 whence wisp of carolers ghosts hauntingly adorn
remembrance of sum...
 er things passed along tummy 
 from ma late ma alm 
 
 compunction eruption viz:
 fruition, gumption interruption 
 sans redemption how became re: born
whereby this pop - 
 bleary eye lids ready to droop
 
 with his tired bones snapping 
 and popping like jimmy crack corn
an immediate need to succumb to sleep 
 found me transfixed how blessings did a dorn 
mine attention riveted at shrouded foghorn
echoing...choing...hoing 
 
 never knowing hands of time didst flap
matthew scott harris, 
 who yawned avast cingular gap 
countless decades swallowed un hap 
pulley lost soul within early 
 twenty something years
 
 devoid of inner GPS to help map 
and guide this stricken n fore lorn future pap
though the hour 
 (at time this got written) nsync kin rap
pa head lee well nigh 
 
 closing in on six in the morn 
 way before synapses snap
crackle and pop, 
 whereby the sage within mine psyche 
 
 waving a finger - tsk tsk - with mild scorn
for forgoing to bed, yet...
 a powerful tsunami like force arose up 
 when viewing the account of how tara - blank -
 became rent asunder and torn
from an terrible accident of fate - 
 though a miraculous recovery now worn.
 
now fast forward to recent past 
receding extremely fast
as if powered by remnant cosmic blast
resulting in avast
 
blurred montage flickr ring
 exercise regimen of running plus lifting weights - 
 perhaps so many reps of a curl
finds me applauding, huzzahing, 
 and praising daughter\'s efforts...so you go girl
 
with all inner strength pell mell into fitness:
 disciplining molding, sculpting- yar body hurl
 testing your limits to the max
 whether across busy urban streets or...
 where landscape offers open space with pearl
jam skies - in outlying less populated tracts - 
 giving freedom to dance n twirl.
 
ye r so lucky tubby alive
cuz immediate family, friends, relatives 
 and now...this strange papa gives u high five
without asking anything in return - 
 since inspiration courses thru me
 
 inducing thyself to strive
and/ or if when fate decrees, 
 thee will make an awesome counterpart
 who this older papa bloke would envy 
 as ye possess inxs of strength to re:vive.

blessing for sound health 
 
upon waking every morning I offer 
silent benediction for the ability
to revel with full faculty of this aging body 
still going strong where ability sans,
 
enjoying the simple pleasures 
available thru bodily senses
plus cavorting, flirting, 
identifying simple pleasures
in my nonsensical mien \"inner child\" 
 
Woolworth more than money can buy
yet of course if I did happen 
to be a lucky lottery winner
could definitely relief anxiety and allow
me to breathe easy yet, 
never do justice pitted against robust
body, mind and spirit triage.
