Overstanding

Today I dreamed of the sun

With eyes wide open and looking

Through a window newly clean

Rag in one hand and windex in the other

And just for a moment I could

Smell the ocean wafting

A warm breeze across my feet

So I had to remove my socks

To see if I could wiggle my toes

In a sandy delight of pleasure

I can taste the greenness of

Of your heart holding onto mine

The windowpane seems a doorway

Only I have been asked to enter

When I listen, I can hear your voice

Folding the wings of brown pelicans

And whispering past the lushness

Of the bougainvillea vine

Sweet and sensuous lyrics

Sounding off tamarind clusters

And shooting carambola stars

Calling me to you throughout the day

Upon my prayers gazing beyond glass

I know that you are my overstanding
