One In A Million, Billion, Trillion, Zillion Cotillion

In music are the centripetal and centrifugal forces. The universe needed only to hear a divine harmony that every star might fall into its proper place and assume a true sphericity. - Thoreau

laughing

dancing

chancing

oblivious to circumstancing

singing songs

spilling wine

where there is no concept of time

what's mine is your's and what's your's is mine

feasting on rays from the sun

marrying on the moon

kissed by the wealth of an unearthed doubloon

uncorked eternity isn't long enough

happiness is tougher than tough

in this mirthful month of june

where an up and down tide feeds like a spoon

and soon can never, ever be too soon

Author's Note

"It is dry, hazy June weather. We are more of the earth, farther from heaven these days." - Thoreau

You have written a mantra for the trillions! What a recipe for life: from 'what's mine to ' ever be too soon' and the music says so. Grand write, Pete, and as your man says.. 'We are more of the earth, farther from these days' - but, somewhere, he knows where and when.

[Pete]

if anyone knows where and when then he certainly would and i have a sneaking suspicion that deep down in your heart and soul, you do too!

[emmajoygreen]

Maybe, one should try to reach - let's say, as far as the spirit will reach - over time.

life can be bumpy at times but if you hold on tight, most of it is pure joy....singing, dancing, drinking champagne; contemplating the cosmos....."marrying the moon"... keep the faith and life should be worth gazillions!!!

I learned to count to those massive numbers. You must be dreaming of wealth. Now, if you had one the lotto, please tell us honestly. We can laugh and dance with you.
