Great Grand Daddies
Oh Great Grand Daddies you ever beckon
Solid Safe Solemn ~ as you
Wrap us in your gargantuan arms
Your playful souls oozing collective charm
Ancient wisdom reels Rockefeller’s wealth
Generously sharing Aristocratic views
As mystical fog tiptoes and bathes
Soothing us with gnome leprechaun charms
The way you hold court in purple majesty
Circles channeling messages of magic wisdom
Seep up from roots of fallen comrades ~ never forgotten
Revealing toe-curling truths of transformational surrender
A tender language truth is
Loudest in the middle of one’s limbs
Healing wounds in soul-sanctioned groves
Circled witnesses prophesize profound direction
Oh Generous forefathers, you have saved the biggest and the best
for us your children
May we be humble enough to listen to your virile voices ~
prophetically guiding us to soft landing
Urging us to
Spend time in your arms ~ Listening to your silent wisdom

Love the flow propelled by deeply rhythmic musicality and long breath line. Reading out loud emphasizes the magic of this stellar piece. Deeply affecting ending lines:
“ May we be humble enough to listen to your virile voices ~
