Day 259 - Sunflower Fields

Fold memories into golden petals of happiness

On a stem deeper than any buried emerald

Perfect joy that you remember from playing in fields

Laughing between stalks high above your head

Daddy running behind you to at last sweep you up

Into his arms and spin you around in glee

You wonder aloud "when will I grow so big?"

And your laughing Mommy trails behind promising

"Much too soon, my fairy princess."

It turns out she is right and now you stare at the flower

Sitting on your doorstep from your perfect crush

Who has been whispering sweet nothings into your ear

Long enough to show that he feels it in his heart

The secret message that your childhood bloom holds

The gold will shade your new fairy princess dress

For when he sweeps you up into his arms

There may not be a field of tall green stalks

But then again not every fairy tale needs them

Day 202 - Viewing Poetics

If you could echo in the shades of light
The very story that lasted in fingertips
Then the easy going, glowing ethereally bright
Stories of ecstatic joys easily passes through lips
Into waves of wonder and grasses like pools
Which ripple in footprints of moments passing by
Pressed deep in the toes of love hardy fools
With musician's notes upon clouds lost in the sky
And silver chains answering the ageless
In intricate designs of winding, entwining trust
Redefining the existence of the cage-less
In flavors of orange thunder storm clouding rust
Fabrics so fresh with time that refuses to move
In the speed of echoing arches of modernization
That all with an epitome have something to prove
With methods of articulated internalization
That beauty flows in whispers that do not speak
Except to make fewer at one beings gloriously weak
