The Cork Tree


My dear please stay near
Don’t wander too far
Only your keystone may
Interpret stanzas and bars
Holding a place
A grid glowing space
Charging one thousand atoms
Magnifying thoughts fathomed
From afar
With streaks of the stars
Aligned in chase
Moving such grace
Planets coincide
Beaming their pride
Illustrious glow
Molding life down below
Even a two step
A waltz and a gown
Your dress painted stars
Lights near your crown
The only twinkle resounding
From the eyes of the candles
Your thoughts and your ideas
From the chandelier dangle
The ringing of toasts
A celebration near
Corks shooting angels
Soaring through air
Drinking in moments
A momentous gamble 
Drunk or sober
I love you
And your pink sandal.
