Imbibed

 

Afternoon to enjoy

Drunk in my backyard

Waited long for this day

Now it’s here at last.

Long winters befall us here

Now is June upon us

Floating on a raft in my backyard

Dark German beer upon me

How different all looks when imbibed

Totally different perspective

Things move slowly

Sounds linger in echo

Senses dulled be

Yet dulled mean not absent

All still be where is

Just “different” be thy atmosphere

Like . . . circle my house forever may I

Yet only one time in an airplane fly I

All the different my house so appears

So be thine world new

As imbibed so I be

Nothing is changed

Only mine consciousness be altered

As such, so hast all life shifted

Looking at life from different views

This be the key to all

For without this all doth stagnate

Henceforth venture out

Amazed be you and we

At how life changed, second by second

Dependent on where you be
