Vibrant blue sky ~ sun at a distance ~ refreshing cool air ~ dancing trees sway ~ lulling me to sleep
Winds soft touch / like an afternoon kiss / gently passing

Caught in the spirit / on this eve of Christmas day / my soul is soaring
Peaceful visions ~ heart bursting with love ~ the world is aglow ~ in kindness ~ and the human spirit

Euphoric / love has that power / I’ma drink it in
Deep echoes / voices from the past / guiding us straight
A new plague is here / it attacks your heart with peace / very contagious

The lone red leaf ~ grasping to the branch ~ pulled by the wind ~ fighting to survive ~ a teacher of belief
The falling water / collecting in pools of blue / feeding the dry earth

In a haze ~ a deer walked out of the mist ~ tired of fear ~ searching for peace ~ desperate for salvation
Breathing sounds ~ of soft winds ~ while gray clouds float ~ thunder echoes ~ and rain waits to fall
The fog dissipates / into a pink morning sky / of beauty and warmth
A hand in peace ~ held out for love ~ giving hope ~ in a changing world ~ of revolution
Rejoicing kindness / that explodes from the hearts of / the beautiful souls

The Perception of a Bad Day
Jack’s eyes were becoming blurry as he raced down the highway on his way to nowhere in particular. Blurry with tears – tears of hatred, remorse, and betrayal. He had to get away, get away from the illusion of life. He was fleeing the false reality of happiness, love, peace, and everything else that was supposed to make life worth living – lies – tears – so many tears.
He swerved towards the guardrail at the side of the road, but in a quick change of heart… cowardice? He managed to maneuver the car back onto the highway. He was sweating now, and the thought of death was running through his mind at a million miles a second. Did he want to die?
The thought of death quickly turned into fear, and Jack pulled the car over. He sat there for a minute trying to gather his thoughts… happiness – lies… love – pain… peace – fallacy…
Could life really be this cruel, or was perception his crime?

Turning off shadows / soul basking in the bright light / embracing kindness

Into the woods
Beautiful sounds resonate
Rain through trees
Laughing squirrels
Mischievous frogs – croak
WHILE
Operatic birds rejoice to the sun.

Sweetest cold ~ consumes / air fresh ~ feeding my new lungs / in winters party
Goodnight darkness ~ sleep / the glow of life awakens / beauty on its lips

At a loss
When the wind takes the words
And throws them to the world ~
Smashes them into reality
And let’s them rain down upon me

In the hands of God / angels sit ~ wings reaching out / and hearts wide open
Elk fork damaged stream / the once mighty river falls / to the damning sun

Where the mountain rests / there is a half full river / where optimists swim
The silly monkey / covered his eyes when he saw / the moon strike the barn
Sometimes we cause pain / to the ones we love the most / without realizing
I have lost my faith / a denouncement of brethren / but never my God
