Contrast of life

To move

round and round

seeing the same view

through eyes of black and white

on a world of such color

going nowhere.

Something changes,

maybe within perhaps

things begin to be seen

with new eyes opened

things emerge and can be seen clearly

colors emerge through the dull

and you find that in a lull of the ride

it slows enough where you can jump off,

chart your course

see new things

go new places

see the beauty once overlooked as plain scenery,

The contrast equates to wonder of soul

in hindsight

And life suddenly stands before you,

a new joy,

maybe a swing or a coaster

or a tea-cup spinning

like a whirling dervish,

See through life, open your eyes to color

and rush through this life

with the abandon of a child.

Gathering of the muse

Ceiling high filled with imagination

running wild through the pages new and old,

a gathering for muses to dive within

to find the inspiration

to set free in delightful ways

pages to be touched

read

loved

to open the heart and mind

seeing beauty in between the covers

of another’s masterpiece,

another’s gift to mankind.

Magical mythical beast sit side by each,

filling small heads with wonder

making dreams alive

to reach out and touch

to believe in the truth

of the infinite.

Pages turn as eyes open big

the wonder of the world at their touch,

the happiness of life and escape

if only for a little while,

but long enough to start a fire

a spark

that someday, their words may be found here

where the muses gather.

 

 

Thoughts of now

Crisp morning air

like the crunch of a bright apple

sweet to the lips

the taste of a summer sun

captured within the flesh

of the fruit.

laying back to take in the day,

thoughts like dreams

behind closed eyes,

dappled clouds let the rays move

in and out like a welcome inverse shadow

to fall upon the face

spreading warmth

much desired.

slip into photos in the mind

memories of years past

places and faces

and songs that drift like water

foot moves in harmony

with the winds of this second

this dream

this thought alive

in a peaceful mind.
