Sail upon the velvet clouds
Feel the ocean’s rousing rush
Get lost in fields of lavender
Hear the forest’s gentle hush
Breathe in air of scented pine
Climb the rocks and reach the sky
Wrap yourself in magnificence
Listen, as your senses sigh

In my hand I have a box
Come closer and you’ll see
Don’t open it or look inside
Lest it cause you misery
I’ve traveled very far and wide
Through all I could withstand
Now, time is slipping quickly by
So, hurry, take my hand
For inside this tiny package
There’s a treasure full of sin
Fear, and greed, evil deeds
All lie in here, within
The distant train approaching
Is filled with his villainous clan
I beg of thee, just let it be
Don’t fuel the Devil’s plan
Don’t let the sinister voices
Wreak havoc in your head
Think of me, and all to be
Of joy and love, instead
The key that unlocks secrets
Kept hidden deep inside
Is tied to me, around my waist
I keep it there, beside
Will you open up the box?
I think you will, I fear
I’ll give you the key,
If you promise me
All hope will not disappear

Drawing new life, from the universe
I remove the madness, end the curse
Shine, in my own spiritual light
Earth below me, a glorious sight
Sends up fire, to brighten the dark
In my soul, ever creating, a spark
A flare in the sky, exploding with power
This is my one, though not, final hour
To make good, for all I have sinned
My life, total chaos, the perfect whirlwind
Now calms, with the stars, sparkling bright
Transcending my thoughts, deep into night
Awakened refreshed, the burden, now lifted
My reminder that God, this life, He has gifted
To me, and only me, to discover my worth
Before my life ends, tis my living rebirth

Colleen’s poetry challenge for this week is a photo prompt! Ironically, I used the same picture in a poem I wrote this past Monday, titled, “My Own Little Space“. Colleen challenged me to write a Haiku based on the same photo, to see where else the prompt might take me. So, here is my Haiku!
Morning sun wakens
Many feathered creatures fly
Among orange clouds

Above the valley
Clouds gently touch mountain peaks;
Nature’s majesty
