Eastern skies parade
pinks and earthy oranges.
New spring colors burst forth,
tinting clouds and mountains,
a frothy blush of strawberry milkshake
cool creaminess.
Skyscrapers glow warm peach
and sweet cantaloupe melon flesh.
A natural palette of intense hues
display a timeless beauty.
Spring’s theme – perfect any time of the year!
Stately sunflower
following sun east to west
pilgrim worshipping
White morning mountains
chaste above horizon pink
blush of innocence
Dark morning
single star wavering
alone in sky
no sunrise promise on horizon
Dark buildings
stand impassive
skeleton towers
waiting to come to life
Dark absorbs thoughts
hides goals
hides dreams
Self walks away
layers peel off
another
then another
onion skin transparencies
Strong urge to chase after them
bring back these diaphanous apparitions
but curiosity wins
need to know meaning of layers
these beautifully fragile layers
Sky remains dark
single star blinks
layers have gone
mystery remains
Inside dark building
shower stings
water beads pelt
raw form
no promise of sunrise
on horizon
