Awake !
Wake, my dearest!
come to me here, hear me now!

Sweetness,
call my name once more
One time more
let my ears hear now
your reassurance.

ambivalence and taunting fears of demon songs, false dreams and nightmares ,now, I
hear .

I pray to hear your treble call
my bass into a heaven we dreamed about,
wake, awake my dear!

Winter solitude--
in a world of one color
    the sound of wind.

I don't need a necktie-
I don't need a wallet-
I don't need a thingamajig-
or a whatchamacallit!

I have what I want,
a wonderful son, daughter-in-law,
and the two most powerful vitamins
known to mankind---my grandchildren.
AND, last, but not least, my "Guardian Angel",
Brie!(as in cheese)--(my cat!!! :):):)
for they make everyday, Father's Day!
