La Vie deluxe

La Vie deluxe



                By EE Green



My life begins

When I have

No axe to grind.

No thoughts to

Beat me down

No words to bind.

My life begins in

Segments like

Juicy citrus

Released from pith.

My life could use a lift:

A summer solstice

Or a Christmas gift.

This is my dream:

La Vie deluxe

A coddled egg

A paper to read

A string of beads

And a knowing glance

That plants the

Seeds of love.

Of all the second

Chances

My life begins

When I have

No regrets

And my heart

Just dances.
