Embrace Of The Flowers After The Dust

The jackhammers carry a tune that's painful to my drums

The nails march along and in the structures, remaining still afterwards

The grey river of concrete has barriers to prevent several stomps

The men and women of steal, shout amidst the clouds and grime


I can't wait to walk past, as it seems like a journey across the Mojave 

I want to see something that was grown with the gentle appendages 

Not as much noise as it took for the hard build that rises beside me

So many more, can grow these than those 


As I get closer to what I want to embrace and savor

Its scent seems to come out more, as it becomes aware of my closeness 

We've never met on a formal basis, I with the voice and it without one

No hand shaking required, just a mental greeting from us both


Without speaking, it can sense my joy of it being around 

Its peacefulness, it realizes is needed by me

Too much loudness, I can't quiet it with a bullhorn or firm whisper 

The flowers have never caused my lobes to ring and tremble

Cascading Of The Frozen Rain

  Among the many in the collage of the weather This hard rain is an unwelcomed sight Winter time is when it makes an appearance Pain it can cause, and not just to the humans down below   It resembles tiny silver slivers, as it cascades from the heavens Falling on the weak branches, and others that can’t take its weight Damages can be to the extreme, in spite of the brevity of its descent The people moving around, look up at the sky more than usual   Other misery it causes, is the loss of power to the homes all around It’s funny how this frozen rain can resemble a cold bomb at times It’s a rare sight, introducing itself like a rarely seen, annoying relative Not one we greet with joy, and disappointed at the mess it’s left behind

Cautious Whispering

  So tempting to spill, that life she endures Wanting so badly to vent, maybe ranting can cure   Very few she MIGHT trust, too many big mouths Rarities among those who often shout   She looks among the people in every direction Who can she choose for their undivided attention   I won’t say a word, they’ll say with no smile Lying words if their silence can’t last awhile   Thinking about what she’s going through No time for anyone who leaks her bad news   She knows that even those who are close, can betray How quickly they can voice before the end of the day   She’s finally settled on the ear for her anxious voice Hoping that this time, she’s made the right choice

24 Hours To Move, To Be Still

  The beauty of nature fills my room Its sunlight piercing my eyes I've awakened to another morning Another chance to make progress in my life   Before I rise, I give thanks Grateful for another day given to me I think about the passions I continue to pursue And the talented one I am capable of being   When to move, when to be still There's a struggle with these two These 24 hours are like playing chess While deciding on which one I should NOW do   So many hours in a day Making me think there's plenty of time Yet the day can fly by so fast With little accomplished, I sometimes feel, in my eyes   It's been said that Rome wasn't built in a day But I feel like SOMETHING has to get done by me There are ones of many lives who I think about Who don't get these opportunities
