Day 358 - Recipe for a Rainbow

The icicles freeze like the dreams we never complete

They stop like the casual clapping off beat

The frozen calls Time to examine itself

Like the wise and ever immortal elf

The points they build up between seasons life

They point to the ground as sharp as a knife

With a magic they keep to shied this space

If you look closely there is a shimmering about this place

The glistening poetry that bends and glows

Comes with the recipe of sunlight, crystal and snows

It is the blessing of the dancing rainbows

Day 356 - Walking in Flames

Well you used to walk on fire

I always wondered how you did that

How you danced over the pyre

As gracefully as the proud king's cat

But now I understand better I think

You were really walking in the cold

Miles without a drop to drink

All of your dreams long ago sold

To a man who promised you light

To keep you warm and safe from everything

So he gave you flames burning bright

And in wishes for the snow you began to sing

Day 340 - Mauve Memories

They used to only hold majesty

On the throne of Mother Nature, the queen

Lavender lives in a field so misty

Bits of magic living, never before seen

But by the fairies who decorate evenings

In the light of the Moon's cautious sliver

That calls upon the cricket that sings

Of her reign as the ultimate giver

Of mysterious moments locked far away

Within the eyes of ox-eyed Hera, so fair

Laced inside the words that Don Juan would say

Even in the pond that caught Narcissus' stare

Yes, the memories sweet mauves call upon

Bring up emotions of the rarest kind

Over which all of mankind is known to fawn

On which the wickedest spells, bind

Oh, Mother Nature how we revere you

With all of the wonders you reveal to be true

Day 322 - Melancholy Monday

As winter sets in I begin to learn

Things that ice locks into reality

Things that tend to smart and burn

With the stinging touch of finality

Trees stand up against the gray

On this my melancholy Monday

They remind me hope awaits me

That the world is more than uncertainty
