30 Friday May 2014
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

I see you sitting there
staring into space
A faraway look
that tells me your wheels
are turning, spinning
at an extraordinarily
fast pace but
You say nothing when I ask
what you’re thinking about
as you drift further away

No light to guide my way
through the blackness
that leads me
Up darkened steps
Around blind corners
Feeling the way along
Cold hallway walls
Not even the warmth
Of first morning light
Can illuminate the gloom
Or fill the void
Of nothingness
As the darkness lingers
