so life is but a dream,
here’s one to sleep on,
we rocket back in time, she and i
take our journey in a flash,
contract it into a night
to see some high points
spend two days at that place
high above the beach in Zijuatenejo
have a nice dinner under stars
two days in the Piute mountains
our cabin , old friends dropping by
the wood stove, where it all began
two days on the boat in Sausalito
the cat’s there lying in the sun
what a decade that was
two days with my folks in Ohio
two with yours in Arizona
make those family festive occasions,
two in Hawaii on bicycles and camping
two in Italy on trains, busing, walking,
wine, pasta and pizza of course,
add two in Sonoma on the crazy oats ranch,
a couple of days here, a couple there,
a whirlwind happy couple dream
we rode the long ride
rose and fell with the tide
and iknow, sweetheart, we’d do it again
like gamblers with fortune smiling
we had the cards and the stars in our favor
someone’s watching over us

A wonderful chronicle of love and life, and a dream made real.
Hi Jack,
I just saw your new note about your poems. If you do decide to "knock off" after about a thousand or so, I sure hope you'll leave your site up, so new and old readers can continue to enjoy your poems; and that if inspiration strikes you now and then, you'll continue to post. So many of your poems are comforting and beautiful, like you! (Bet you never thought you'd be described that way, but it's true!) Thanks for the first 975!
