Colors stand bright on a sunny day
Welcoming gatherings with plenty to say
Tables etched with temporary moments
Provides writers a space for silence
Can’t count the times one takes a seat
Photographers or artists creating a new beat
These empty chairs tell a story
A story no one will ever see
They are the experiences of the passersby
A cycle of hello and goodbye
The waves will carry over
Remnants of yesterday’s past
Recycling the course of time
Making each event go fast
The waves will carry over
Unanswered questions and doubt
Voices that echo to be heard
Ponder over an easy way out
The waves will carry over
Tears that fell and left behind
Sky embraces the hurt and ignored
Replenishing love that was once blind
The waves will carry over
Broken shells on the shoreline
Clearing the path for new footsteps
Feeling whole to walk under the sunshine
Hello 2014! It’s a new year which means more SUN and poetic thoughts! Thanks for reading, thanks for following, and here’s to more sunny days ahead!
Walk towards the clouds
Sky drops surrounding silence
Hear only my breath
Razor sharp statue is her protection
Has a unique sense of fashion
Water is the source to her being
Strength prevents her from falling
Large and full of life this cactus calcite
Grows as the sun shines bright
Standing by watching the current flow
Time seems to be moving so slow
Stare out to the sky, the clouds rest
Wonder how I could lose my zest
Confined to the cold bedrock
Listen to the seagulls gawk
Wind picks up making the air chill
The sun sets leaving me still
I am a cloud
Far up in the sky
Throughout the day
Watch me roam around
Changing form and direction
Settling along the water’s bay
Summer is Sun’s holiday.
She shines brightly warming Earth’s surface. Clouds dance around Sun. Sometimes she pushes them away wanting to be the center of attention. Clouds don’t mind since Sky offers them space to roam around.
On days when Sun doesn’t feel like shining, she hides in the distance. Clouds comfort her. Sky changes color to show Sun’s unhappiness. Rain may approach, sometimes Breeze picks up speed. Yet Clouds don’t leave Sun alone. Instead they scatter as Sky embraces them.
Appreciate you as my guide
Some paths are difficult to follow
Many bumps to overcome
Glad you’re by my side
Take comfort in your presence
Planting my feet on solid ground
Walk steadfast with confidence
Blessing me with patience
Oh Mother Sun
Continue to carry me through
The things I do not know
Teaching me a new lesson
