revival

berries and the early days of the prophet 
on the stereo waves
a kind of domestic bliss
of time travel 
to the bedroom boom box
the cactus in bloom
after a 13 year hibernation 
a reminder that life force 
is ever present somewhere in there
and no guilt 
when the spark is buried too deep
to reach
but a simple gratitude for moments
of knowing just what would bring joy
and then there it is
a revival so sweet

  1. I still remember the first time my family was completely taken by surprise by a cactus!
