Distant Sky

Date and Time  - Oct. 20th, 2002, 07:51 pm


Distant Sky

wispy clouds
in a distant sky
call me
in silent echo

gentle clouds
drifting lazily
above the horizon
as the sun sets
slowly behind
sentinel mountains
shards of rock
like thorns
on the edge
of a crimson sea

too far away
but i can smell
the soft breeze
carrying the messages
of the blue and violet flowers

too far away
but i can taste
the air
the sweet clean
pure peaceful air

too far away
but i can hear
the wobbling cries
of thousands of birds
traveling above
the flowing grasses

i want to touch it
i want to go there
i almost can
but it is too far away

The Slippery Branch

Date and Time  - Jan. 3rd, 2002, 04:44 pm


The Slippery Branch

holding on
to a slippery branch
in the deep fog
should I try
to brave
the precarious climb
or should
I be content
just not to fall
farther down
into thorny briars
below
