A mighty tree gave way
To the swing of the
Wooden handled steel bladed
Weapon that took its life
As it lay on the ground
No longer majestic
I found myself saddened
How ironic
That a tool made with the
Layers of the fallen lumber
Extinguished its very essence
So yet another could be forged

I am reminded of a kaleidoscope
The rainbow, a spectrum of colors
Dancing off reflecting light
The calm after the storm
The arch of splendor
Red, orange, yellow, green
Blue, indigo and violet
In descending order
I’ve often wondered
What lies below the red
Or beyond the violet
Between the infra and the ultra
We see only what we’re allowed
A crescent in the sky
A prism within our eyes
An optical illusion

A warm touch, a soft caress
stroking, calming
like a sedative
In the arms of a lover
there are no walls, no
barriers to break
Only the fortitude
of knowing you are
safely nestled in tranquility

Gazing out my window
The gray skies fit my mood
The air heavy with the threat
Of a storm, but is this fury
Brewing inside me or is it
Just a lingering haze
Not really worth my energy
And I impatiently wait for the
Rain to wash it all away
