Longing for Leisure

I want to go out
among tall trees
and open fields
and lie
among moss
and lichen
to look up at the sky
and make stories
from the cast
of shadows and light
upon fluffy tufts
of atmosphere

The Detour

Fast moving decisions
speak of discipline
and control
focus in every moment
as unexpected
changes in direction
create potential for
painful consequences
and heart skips
a beat
as others are not
so vigilant

Magic In The Air

Rain kissed promises
on misty days
as sunlight skims
rich green fields
and summons
signs of hope
out of the thin
yet humid air

Dive into the wonder
and breathe deep

Promises

Tiny tree tops
stretch
above
tangled weeds
towards fluff
that fills the sky
like
whipped topping
promising shade
and maybe
rain

Maybe.

To Refresh

Blue skies
of a different sort
layered
upon gray
and tufts of white
over blue mountains
and the awakening
green
of a new spring
rain is coming
and the trees reach
straining tall
in search of
refreshing drops

The Renewal

Bright green leaves
unfurl
as blades of grass
reach skyward
towards shining sun
and brightening sky
as what was once
gold and brown
begins to fill
with color
once more.
