Another Wish for You

may you be 

frequently ambushed,

thoroughly boonswoggled,

by a season of meandering joy, 

a Mississippi of mischievous adventure,

a benign typhoon of good trouble,

redolent of favorite times 

with people and

animals, places as well,

that sparkle you

with aliveness,

as you in turn

in your unbridled romping

transfigure

and effervesce all

with whom you’ve wandered

along muddy

cattailed riverbanks

bursting forth fat

blackberries,

sizzling dragonflies and 

cottages shaded

by sycamores 

serene as plump cats

lazing in sun, glistening 

wonder like wildflowers 

listening to rain.
