The business of just being
finding themselves moving about this life,
two souls hobnobbing about with royalty,
going about it in their own way,
in search of the shine of a better day.
Silly things really, stowed away
almost unseen like the lizard on a car
and a license of integrity,
did she see in the rearview the passenger
catching a breeze on a hot day,
jumping to a new destination
free ride on the by-way,
perhaps a thumb out as if to say,
hey babe, heading my way?
Turning and moving away from the path
small dot still remains heading home,
and its never as great as the fish that almost got away
before taking a nose dive into the boat
trying so hard to escape
but alas, not your time yet
a bit too small to be part of the haul
so back you go to the locker
and the hook plunges in
tempting heads to entice the supper
waiting at the bottom
as the rain waits to fall
this surreal world comes to call
and I write the fodder of a passing day
rightly ended with a splash of color over head
the skies jumbo slide hangs
and I wonder where the pot at the end
waits and for whom,
if not the dreamer and the images cast
leaving a new thought behind
to an imagination fertile
with wondrous things.
Thoughts on yesterday again at the Dali museum, and how coming home, a lizard was riding on a womans back windshield, out of the wind as he didn’t go flying off, her license plate said integrty….I would think if she knew, she’d pull over and let the little chap off. The evening ending with a huge rainbow over our house which will be a photo for a post in the future….the fountain of youth outside Dali museum, I was laughing at the hubby, telling him it must be broken when I touched the spigot, water came rushing out and literally scared the bejesus out of me, I jumped like a scalded cat but had a good laugh, I guess that’s what will keep us young. Imagination and fun…my kind of life 🙂 The fish tale (a mermaid perhaps) is coming out of the Rolls Royce that sported the two snails on the front. The inside of the car has water running down like a reverse fountain, with the tale how we try to escape the rain by rushing into our car or home, yet here the rain is within. Very cool to see 🙂
I’m sure he made it off safely ❤ the little lizards get rescued by me out of the lanai often so the dogs don’t get them ❤

I love Salvador Dali!
Thanks for sharing about the fountain of youth, Kim!
The ride home and thinking you would hope the driver would let the lizard off, sounds a lot like Me! I carry bugs and spiders down the hallway to let them out my apt building door! 😀

Loved your poem, and your images.. Dali was a wonderful imaginative soul.. I remember years ago when visiting Barcelona we went to the Salvador Dalí museum. So many wonders we saw too.. So I know that feeling of surreal. 🙂
Love and Hugs.. xxx ❤
