lavender blooms


violets and purples
bright and clear
little flowers of
mother earth
clusters of pure
and of perfect fit
lavender laces
in lavender lakes

colorful caches
of rounds and circles
colorful beds
of leathery leaves
looks of love
streaks of light
spray of perfume
a heaven's delight...

before going to work i was able to watch the debate between McCain and Obama for one hour and thirty minutes. both man a 72 y/o war hero and more and a 47 y/o black man with a white mother who is fairly new in politics but what a long way he had jumped into the ranks and pile, we call politics, thanks to Oprah's moolah, laughs, he even defeated the Clintons' well oiled political machinery. that is an achievement of gigantic proportion, so these two men gave their best. in my opinion, although i know it does not count much, McCain won the debate for he should. after all he'd been in politics forever, more knowledgeable in foreign policy for that is his forte, been there and done that kind of way. and he said that he doesn't need the so called on the job training for the highest office of the land which i agree. he looked relaxed and at ease most of the time old as he is, laughs, but looked good for his age, maybe bec. of him having a young wife 20 years his junior, laughs, i dunno :) Obama looked tired. this is the first so two more to go :) every one is entitled to their own opinion and i know mine differs from others. and as we all know debates can influence an election in some ways but it does not necessarily mean that the winner will become the president, so all eyes comes November 4 for the final verdict, and may the deserving person wins :) and lastly i never thought that John McCain is that funny, quick witted and has that meaningful smile ...at one point he mentioned "are you afraid I'm not going to hear you?" in response to Obama not addressing him at a certain point in that debate. that was really funny, laughs. oh well, this coming Thursday will be another interesting night, a pit bull with lipstick...hmn, hope she'll win a bite, laughs.
