Blue skies overshadowed
with grey puffs, a warning
as the sunlight fades

Clouds burst and thunder claps, as
lightning brightens the darkness
and disappears again

Streets become pools
of unswimmable water,
the current carrying the days travels
down a hollow, rushing endlessly
toward the abyss

Water assaults your face
as you fight your umbrella
and the winds that threaten to take you
in a Mary Poppins kind of way

And then it’s gone, leaving
the air heavy with the scent
of rain….

Choices

Choices, decisions, faith, Night Owl Poetry, poems, poetry, trust

Shall I climb this tethered vine?
Will it lead me to the sky?
Trust its strength to hold me
And carry me up high?

Or will it break
Like the weakened vine
That dangles down below?
And leads into the great abyss
I left not long ago?

As I ponder, wonder why
Which path is mine to take?
Will I know I’ve chosen right?
Is the decision mine to make?

Friday Fantasy ~ Visions Overlooked

Magic words reveal themselves

From pages of a book

Written once, so long ago

These visions overlooked

Of palaces and kingly men

Of princes, brave and true

Now lost among the scattered mass

Of paper, blown, astrew

A princess in her own right

She holds the book aloft

Its fire glows with radiant light

Its power gently wafts

Conjuring the days of yore

The spirits start to swirl

The prophecy within this book

Of secrets, now unfurled

#TBT ~ Camping

They pitch their tents
And gather sticks
They tell me I should try it
It’s fun they say
Come on and play
Sorry, I just don’t buy it
The forest folk hide nearby
They never make a sound
But I know they’re there
And try not to care
However, it’s much too quiet
A pat on the back
As they finish their tasks
The campsite looks quite inviting
But I’m still not staying
With bugs I’m not laying
Just drop me off at the Hyatt

#TBT ~ Wandering

Wandering on
Through valleys wide
And forests oh so deep
Through wild flower lanes
This Earth can’t contain
And mountains oh so steep

Wandering again
Carefree and light
Like a child in a nursery rhyme
Away from the city
That shows you no pity
From sweltering heat and grime

Wandering still
My visions set free
There are no worries to blind me
I’ll take to the clouds
Thundering loud
And never look back behind me

Wandering ever
Til my heart is fulfilled
Breathing in nature’s pure scent
It is here I surrender
To take in the splendor
To live out my dreams quite content
