The sun is out 
and dew glitters  
on the lawn. 

It quickly vanishes 
before my eyes, 
melting 
into the green

of being tired 
all the time. 

 

The wind says 
come. 
Let me brush the leaves off your shoulder 
and have them f l u t t e r in the breeze.  

Let me beautify 
your decay 
and send your colors
spinning

I felt ethereal yesterday. Not today. But yesterday 
I felt, 
ethereal. 
As I traversed down the gray highway with an ever changing sky. 
The clouds were blue lavender smoke,
