Wind
Has
Blown
For
Hours,
Tormenting
The
New
Garden
Flowers,
Moves
And
Shakes
It
All,
Short
And
Tall.
I’m
Grateful
The
Gusts
Don’t
Break
The
Blossoming
Stems,
And
Like
As
Not,
Carry
The
Whole
Plot
Bodily
Away,
On
This
Very
Blustery
Day.
The
Wind Has Blown For Hours, Tormenting The New Garden Flowers, Moves And Shakes It All, Short And Tall. I’m Grateful The Gusts Don’t Break The Blossoming Stems, And Like As Not, Carry The Whole Plot Bodily Away, On This Very Blustery Day.

Poppies Close Their Petals At Night, Then Open To Gather Cups Of Sunlight, Orange Bright, Huddled Together To Form A Garden Song Sung All Day Long. A

Canvas On My Easel Is Upside Down, To Facilitate The Painting Of The Background. This One Is Much Like A Hundred Other Pieces I Have Done, But Somehow, Always New, Becomes Itself, And Emerges Fully Formed, No Matter What I Do. Tomorrow
Is April, And I’m Unprepared, Recalling Other Aprils That We Shared, And How Much We Cared. It All Slipped Away On Yet Another April Day, Blowing All The Flowers Away. I Survived, To Keep Your Memory Alive And Ever New, Do My Best, And Lovely April Does The Rest. Pigeons

Anyone Know How To Let Go Of Ragged Dreams, Worn By Travel, Tearing At The Seams, And Yet, Still Get By? No Matter What I Try, They Cling To Everything, Faded And Torn To Fragments, Stories Untold, Now Grown Old, Their Time Run Out, The Heart Unable To Share, Though I More Than Care, Each Silent Line Wholly Mine. Standing
At The Gates Of The Day, Years Fall Away. Time Revolves Like A Wheel, With Nothing Left To Steal, Memories Pressed Flower Flat, Myriad Colors Intact, Devoid Of Substance Yet Palpable, Wholly Real, My Heritage To Cherish, Sacred As A Private Marriage. |
