MALBEC
Plaid-painted, paisley dreams
Wake up with songs of warning
Playing in my head
And with waking thoughts recording
One hundred and thirty eight emails
Could surely never be
Start my day still singing
Thinking what this means to me
Get into my truck
Radioactive fills my head
Turn on a silent radio
And the wonderment begins
It picked up
Where dreams left off
Amazed that this could even be
Imagine Dragons singing
Radioactive back to me
One song
Followed by three
Rock blocks for turkey days
"Psycho" then "Toxicity"
Followed then by "Lonely Day"
Reminds me of the pain I felt
When I always tried to force it
And how Signs and Wonders came
To me
Once I managed to divorce it
Arrive to work still early
As the sun makes its appearance
Amazed by my promotion
And how now I have this clearance
To maybe open up
For the New to come to me
All I need is some alignment
Where Dreams define reality
Think of my last efforts
To find fish out in the sea
Reminds me of the email
That I'd named "soliloquy"
I'd forgot, I hadn't checked it
I'd had too much on my plate
Signed into it - face burning
Inbox screams 138!!!
Now Spirit had my attention
At least that bit assigned to guide me
Caught up in the flow...
Here was Spirit to align me
Clicked through every email
Perhaps within - I'd find the One
But it seemed as just catharsis
Or some slight Egoic fun
Worked my day in silent wonder
For I learned it long before
When the flow makes its appearance
You're in store for something more
That's the cause for signs and wonders
To bring the quiet 'fore the storm
To pay attention for the moment
As it appears in shape or form
Spent my day delighted
Like a weight had just been lifted
Review a life of dreams
And the future I've been gifted
Think of the potential
If I just stay here - in the dream
Leave work at end of day
And I'm right back in the stream
Turn the music on again
To silence - like the morn'
Then comes the words to "Drive"
Now reinvested in the storm
Then "In the End" & "With You"
How I screamed to "Bleed It Out"
Ones and threes together
Make the eight that filled it out
So I pondered what it all could mean
What the signs had offered to me
Knew a piece had been presented
Though what - managed to elude me
Came home and take a second glance
At the namesake of a goddess
Nephthys, sister of Isis
Made me feel suddenly Osiris
Spent three hours then connecting
With this person - like a mirror
As each group of words unfolded
The connection came quite clearer
Felt no need to play it safely
Felt no urge to dilly dally
Felt emboldened and empowered
By this girl down in Green Valley
The rest now is her option
But in her fragility I see strength
In her face I see her future smiles
From the words I'd speak at length
But if perhaps your feet have gotten cold
Or if perhaps I might have failed it
At least now - I can surely say
I'm the Champion of Malbec
