we need one another
we need to support one another
we need to spur one another
we need to bring vitality to one another
we need to be with each other
in each other springs life anew
in each other sparkling another to life loving

a Summer day Fishing
a summer day
good time to kindle
more than greetings of jubilation
a Good Day
Indeed
Blasting out
it is a fishing day
waiting
waiting
waiting
At Last
got one off the hook
breakfast
lunch time
dinner time
a grilled fish
on a plate
enjoying this summer day
or summer night
Prompt for Hour Two
meeting me in this treasure island
surely it is just the beginning of day
haunting of yesterday
doing the routine of the day
making sure everything
amazing and dazzling
just be honest to oneself
surely awaiting for the after hours
making the day so delightful
ending a night dancing till dawn
A wanderer in space and time
a wanderer always at awe with time and space
everything comes into full realization
as to his own existence and essence
nonetheless it partaking in life’s challenges
surely it always put on a test for his strong willed
adventure that changes within him into
person of great wisdom with in depth of knowledge
of his world he lived in
indeed a true wanderer in this space and time
