HARMONIZED IN COLOR…

Through sunflower field,
Swallow tail butterfly swoops;
Bees buzz in sunlight.

A NEW DAWN…

Heartbroken and anguished,

Sorrow, an anvil pressed upon my chest.

My love has gone…

Vanished into the sunset,

That never ending sunset, at no time to return.

Yet through my distress I remain asserted.

I will rise again.

Out of the muddy waters,

Like a Lotus.

To display great purity for the world to see.

I am hidden but not lost,

Melancholy but not despaired.

I await my break of day.

The surface, within my reach.

I will rise and bloom in wondrous fashion;

An awe inspiring beauty,

Full of peace and hope.

My awakening is destined,

Truth was never meant to be concealed.

Yes, out of the muddy waters,

I will rise again.

Just like the Lotus; the epitome of rebirth.

Such a lovely symbol,

On any given day…

Rocks submerged by waves;
Sanderling scours glistened sand -
Shells adorn the shore.

East of riverbank,

Willow leaf lays motionless;

Cloudless sky above.

Cryptic silhouette,
Shifts across dimly lit room;
Glass falls to the floor.

In scorched noontime heat,
Ice cream trickles down the cone;
I wipe my eyebrow.

Moon favors dark sky,
Owl's hoot echoes through the trees;
Footsteps fill the air.
