It's More Than Poetry
by Richard L. Provencher

I'm in love with a dream.
Sloppy pants and farmer boots
hide heavy socks on a day
full of mosquito bites
and I am not happy.
Some victims take a swig of gin
I soak myself in Deet.

The dawn is what makes
me smile
a wild heart stilled
like a whispering shadow
sky ablaze
a promise of summer.

I come alive in the dance
of field and sky
and glory of daffodils.
A loon's melodic cry
red embers on a sleepy night.
I live -- I live
God tells me so.
