*"Magic Carpet Ride"*
This is a poem from my recently published book,
“God Loves A Riddle: A Small Collection of Poems.”
All confusing and affirming.
These poems were written during the most base need survival years in
Boulder, Colorado; while facing 20 year old PTSD flashbacks of the murder of my infant son never before surfaced.
It seems I was piecing my fragmented life together almost as quickly as the puzzle pieces were being thrown at me! Frightenly abstract.
This life is a magic carpet ride
Awesome wake
What dreams may come
In this wild-eyed trust must bide.
This cause, that effect
Every tassel, every tickle beg
Take me to the four corners again
Surrender, transcend, select.
To be there for every shade, subtlety, pain, personality, and hue
Unexpected terrifying treasure
See me and believe
I am sent to faithfully mirror you.
