EverlastingWaves

it invades
it peers around the corner
and darts off
the moment someone looks
it leaves us all
frightend
it uses
the fright it gives
to scare off
and moments
that could bring joy
it pushes away
music and 

for some odd reason
i find music
hidden
in the zip zop
of snow pants
 
in the rocking chair
creaking back
and forth
in the wind

in each step taken
as your shoes hit
the hard pavement

the tips of the rainbow
touch the ground
the most colorful place
on earth
it is where
our used-to-be 
grey earth
is touching
a rainbow
the paintbrush
that paints the blank canvas
of earth
it adds color

the carnival
rolled in
and began playing 
its music

but it was
different
the faces of
the people
were fake

their smiles
too wide
their movements
to defined

the music
blasted across

the brightest of lights
can always, always go out
but never lose hope

they will always shine
brighter than the blinding sun
when they yearn for it

so i turn it on
at every chance i will get
so that it can shine

inbetween
winter and spring
little buds
of soft green
are scattered
across the ice-bitten ground
small piles
of soiled snow
rest
along the curb
teetering on the edge
of melting away
green patches of grass
