Drifting aimlessly on stormy winds
captured in crevices, caught to be
living on air and no roots to set
into ground beneath our feet.
Natures art decorating places
unexpected like life that paints itself
in sunrise colors and ballooning clouds
that change in a heartbeat
rolling from calm to a darker holding
moving overhead in ominous threat
yet even the darkness is often broken
caught on the clashing fronts
cold to hot to cold to here
where you lie waiting to be released
to wander aimlessly once more
living day-to-day on the air
that we breathe in and out
in steady rhythm in spaces deep
and filled with all it needs
to survive.
We had a nice rain storm last night with a flash of lightning that woke me around 1 am and this morning as the beautiful sun rose on a pleasant calm yet damp Sunday, found this little plant lodged into the lanai. I see them growing on the lofty oaks above but apparently this one wanted to drop down to visit for a while. I think I’ll let it sit a spell and enjoy. Perhaps I shall call it Stanley…looks like a Stanley to me. Peace and love my friends and Happy Sunday. Hope it’s calm and filled with peace for you.
Peace, Love and Patchouli
