rise &

(a mardi gras poem)

old straight bloke in trompe l’oeil

 

shine together

shine as one

apart and far

and many

 

frock breathless

love the why not

leap into life right now

 

bright the belly under

twinkle up the toes

glitter in  your best direction

 

shine path

light the way

call up all the colours

 

sing!

 

let mocking slough

 

heal from the past

heal for all you know

 

mirth in eye

and wisdom deeps

 

to know oneself

proclaim the day

all ours

and shine together

 

diamond crazy

good as gold

 

be who you were born

with whom and how

and choose to be

 

shine and rise!

glimmer shimmer

ever so much of yourself

 

let’s forget

never so long till gone
