Day 287 - Extraordinary

A vibrant cataclysm of color greets my memory
In the scene of reflections we flee from
Rushing across the sky of clouds
To a fantastic illuminating hum

The blades of grass push away daisies
To make fields greener if only for this instant
Begging you to run through them barefoot
To inhale the evergreen wonders of mint

The sun glances off a tiny sliver of glass
Shielding your vessel with intelligence
Pulling things from this reality far away
Across the ivy embraced plane fence

There is the faded but ever sharp warning
"Objects may be closer than they appear"
But that is simply the life we live
Nothing is ever caged enough to be crystal clear

Day 135 - One Day Years of Reflections


Dedicated to My Photographer, Eric

Look straight ahead but see back too
All the places that you went through
Growing up is a journey so far
Part of it is knowing where you are
Light and shadows frame old times
That began long ago with nursery rhymes
Then you moved on to picture books
Mischievous grins and all-knowing looks
One day you grew to open up your heart
Even to those who are so far apart
Now today you stand as a man
As much as one still growing can
