Dishwasher Stud Muffins & Parenting Faeries - PAD - Nov 27

Dishwasher Stud Muffins & Parenting Faeries

Superheroes surround us.

There’s no readily apparent superpower,

no mask or special suit, no cape to give them away. 

You need pay heed, or you’ll never guess how

their (whispered) actions speak louder

than [shouted!] words to reveal their true identities.

(Note: Appearances may be deceiving.)

Though they seem exhausted – beaten up (& down)

 by all manner of evil foes & villains,

most still manage (somehow)

when all is said and done (against all ap-

parent odds) to foster truth and inspire integrity

while still maintaining patience (mostly);

to muster a tired smile, hang on to hope (by both hands),

and come back to do it all again

tomorrow

snowflakes

If only I could,

I would snatch

(one and all)

to suspend from the ceiling,

festoon on the wall,

or I’d catch

(on my tongue)

their enchanting free-fall.

Morpheus

Only I can make them settle

cease their mad, swirling (e)motions

muster Merlin’s magic (if I can)

transform them mayhap,

into soft, silent, serene snow-

flakes drifting ever downward

to land each atop another

creating a blanket of oblivion

(or maybe stars,

still in the night sky,

their only movement

nearly indiscernible –   

pinprick twinkles of light

sparking the darkness)

beneath which

I might (finally)

find sleep
