Walking towards a fading rainbow
wondering why heron sits thinking
at the edge of a lake
Grumbling crows don’t make any sense
nor does the dollar for Autumn leaves
Wrong photos sent
but right words said instead
no answer back
Neighbors car looks somehow wrong
but it’s the same
Only comfort comes
from three men
too close in a dream
While awake
the cat keeps stalking
every move
Eyes blurred and bleary
looking for real
It’s all wrapped up
in stuff that’s fake
What captured moments
encapsulated in dampened jewels
hold the secrets of the past
and feed the thirsty future…
It seems a peaceful world
with rabbit clouds gazing
and mockingbirds singing
crisp hymnals
It seems a peaceful world
as the lime green
endorfin drenched runner
appears happy to be done
And the leaves
blow harmony
to the gentle fingers of wind
It seems a peaceful world
as the golden melt
of the pouring sun
slips down on
waiting waters
glazing it with riches
Yes
It seems a peaceful world
as it wakes
again
ready to start
anew
Just a gentle drop
That lands upon a petal
Keeps the world alive
The day brings color
Which makes me think of you dear
Lightening my heart
Gathering
And blending
Mingling
Together
Look beyond
See deep
Between the intricacies
Stop and stare
Through the unknown
Tangled within
Breathes life
Perhaps different
In some ways
Yet essentially
The same
For it lives
Needs
Tends
And someday
Ends
My heart can be found
Wherever I look
In faces of foe
Or billowing nimbus
Through the covering canopy
Above
Fluttering hues whispering
Within my soul
If I be still
And feel no end to me
My blending beat
Becomes
The heart of the Earth
Mama and baby
Colors close but not the same
Individuals
Golden fire is lit
Among chosen leaves on earth
As some receive gifts
Sink into the depths
While silvery light glitters
To the moon shine path
