Our eyes shall delight
at morn’s early light
while trees don their spring greenery
as a backdrop of gorgeous scenery
rising sun speckles its shine
to highlight subtle hues divine
amid saturated beauty of floral display
time slows, as we breathe in the day
April spills her rain
Mother Earth drinks it all in
turning a bit green
But it suits her to a tee
as she shows off in the spring
Brighter days lie in wait
to lift you off bare feet
when you step
into their green
Golden sun warmly
wraps you in its rays
blending you
into sky so blue
Be Sure To Wear A Smile
Tin man’s at it again
heart-hunting for one
soft, tender, a little too big
no matter if it’s scarred
it could be the vessel to harbor
the hollow echo of his being
I’ve heard horror stories
of his heart lynchings
I hide mine deep within
for fear he may spy
the swelling of my chest
or notice the look of
with-all-your-might
love on my face while
my heart, the prey
of his emptiness
lies in wait
to be ripped apart
Time just slipped away
it occurred one night or day
now he’s lost, they say
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
And so the war begins
between once-dreamed, warm ideals
and today’s cold, harsh reality
creating a massive front
A dark storm cloud
begins to drop its contents
into a heart
A stinging hellstorm
loud, relentless,
icy, destructive, and as
the turmoil draws down
all that remains
is the space between
A clam at high tide
How do we know it’s happy?
We drown in our tears
δ δ δ δ δ δ δ δ δ δ δ δ δ δ δ δ δ δ δ
Like a kite string, hope
leads eyes toward a bright spot
held up by the wind
