2015
Today is Ravi's coming out party in that
About sixty friends and family, who live nearby
Are congregating in celebration of
Her birth at a pool party hosted
By Celina and Steven, early this afternoon, and
As our host and hostess hope to finish up
Last minute touches, uninterrupted, Steven plans to
Stop by, this morning, to pleasure us with
Ravi's presence, which delights Will, David and me to no end
And as our sweet natured, bundle of joy (who
Has begun to laugh aloud at the silly-willy antics of
Every adult who finds it so easy to love her) is
Due to arrive at 9AM ... I'd be wise to get some shut eye, because
Presently, the clock says 4:41AM, and as I'm yawning
It seems best to pull this post, brief as it may be, into
The station in hopes of my falling back to sleep ... And
If you ask what made me awaken so early, I'd reply:
It's not unusual for tumultuous unrest, taking place
Inside my subconscious, to communicate with
My conscious mind in the still of the night, compelling me to
Awaken, pick up my iPad and process through
A wave of anxiety by penning thoughts, shaped by tension, which
Has been coiling up, unconsciously, ever since
The phone rang, three days ago, informing me that
The winds of fate have, once again
Swept in from out of the blue, causing unexpected change to
Frighten a loved one's sense of safety, and when a loved one
Feels threatened, so do I until insight sparks, shining
Its spotlight specifically upon that which I fear, concerning
The uncertain nature of the next leg of a loved one's journey into
The great unknown, and knowing that writing, upon awakening
Inspires the anxious state of my subconscious to
Release tension, which has been
Coiling up deep within my brain, over these past two days
My present train of thought has calmed
This present wave of anxiety at least enough to
Unstress, relax and rebalance my conscious mind, at least for now ...
So ... if you'd like to consider new insights, which
Popped out of my mind, concerning the need for
Brainstorming during troubling times when
Solution-seeking teamwork provides creative plans of action
Those additional insights can be found
In the newly edited version of yesterday's post, which
I chose to review in the wee hours of the morning, right before
My mind penned the brevity of this post, today ...
And as another yawn inspires me to believe
My anxious state of mind has relaxed enough to
Fall back to sleep, I'll hope that upon reawakening
In time to ready myself to enjoy lots of fun with Ravi
All of my loved ones will have reason to enjoy another
Clear-minded, sunny, five star day, though
This most current problem remains, as yet, unresolved ...
In fact, I can't think of a better time than, right now, for
Our family to feel surrounded by those, whose love and
Respect sustain us when fate swoops one of us up into
A whirlwind of an unexpected problem that inspires
Each of us to maintain our well-practiced
Strong sense of self control in order that teamwork can
Make sound use of our noodles at times when
Fear causes undisciplined minds to fly off the handle and
Lose control over the parts of their brains where the blendship of
Creative and critical thought-processing is stored ...
And with yawn number three, I'll bid you good night as well as
Good day ...
