give me a beautiful visual
to tame the noise of today
let the shrill and the angst
just fade away
let me sink down into ease
just for a bit
it’s gotten all too much
to my sanity, I must commit
time to take a deep breath
otherwise, it’ll be my death
We look outward to understand ourselves,
throwing questions to the stars.
Our youth is filled with awe and wonder.
Our years provide some answers.
We are just a silhouette of the skies,
or mirror of what already was before us.
We are life.
We go on and on and on…
Terry Susi’s image, featured above, emboldened me to produce this acrostic about orbs in the sky. My best friend inspires me pretty much every day! ❤ ❤ ❤
His
gaze is
intently
focused on you.
The wise have a way of observation.
Hearing a speech is not necessary.
The actions tell
the story
of you,
man.
nature is dying
humanity is at fault
the blood on our hands
I needed my fix. The streets, crowded as ever, hummed of the usual pace of shuffling humans. Their faces gray and nondescript, matching the concrete of the city streets and buildings. I turned and crossed the street towards Central Park, hastening my stride.
“Ah, some green,” I uttered to myself as I approached the well-kept parcels of grass on either side of the walking paths. Even the air quality whooshed into my lungs more decently than breathing in a couple of blocks back. I was almost there.
“You wouldn’t believe my day!” I shouted when I spied my Zen buddy.
nature
will bring its wrath
winds whipping the shoreline
the waves surging onto the beach
sand churned under again and again
the storm finally eases some
a rainbow appears now
aftermath of
nature
a life begins vibrantly strong and new
subtle change on its journey
until it can no more
There once was a frog named Kevin
splashing in a pond close to Devon.
Well, hello butterfly
perched in front of my eye!
Stopping here before heaven?
***Note – the frog’s agenda was lunch
the darkness craves light
life invested in the day
the light craves darkness
