Lost And Found

The object of love expands and grows before us to eternity, until it includes all that is lovely, and we become all that can love. - Thoreau

a real cutie patootie

clinked my glass and drank her intoxicating beauty

until my legs grew weary

in dizziness, tumbled to the ground

now if i could only remember

where is that fizzing, liquid lost and found

Author's Note

"Whatever beauty we behold, the more it is distant, serene, and cold, the purer and more durable it is. It is better to warm ourselves with ice than with fire." - Thoreau
