Day 28:

All her thoughts are writ with pen,
words unspoken, never bend.
All her soul's an untamed land,
set inside the giant's hand.

Her eyes were made to see the scream,
to recognize the darkest dream.
To dig the deepest drinking well,
along the sandy shores of hell.

Her crystal, clear-cut ocean eyes,
separate the truth from lies.
And though the world is cold and dim,
she finds her Gold and Green in Him.

Day 27: Sunset

A cute little mini vacay happened, and poetry did not, but now I'm back on track. 


The sun hangs heavy,
wavering horizon.
It burns my retinas
with a goldenbright shine


Prairie grass, green and sepia
Sparse trees in the dusty light.
Who am I?
Just another molded mind?


Chasing down the motes of
lovely light
Gathering my dust
and hoarding the sight


Oh Coral Sky,
soft with the breathing cool
Let me not forever-run
with my eyes closed.


Oh Tremorous Wind,
shiver me deep.
Let me not
fall fast asleep...


Oh Spirit of God,
walking in the evening
Let me not forget
the truth beyond my view.

Day 21: Planted

My feet sink deeper

and my soul uncurls

like a crumpled butterfly 

beating the air with it's

paper thin wings for the first time.

My toes are warm

in the crumbling dirt

and they drink in the sweetwater

with a sound too deep to hear

Sun on my upturned palms

Peace in my bones

as I dwell in the Land

The faithfulness of God

is the sky above me

and the earth beneath me

I live, I move

I am

in Him

My roots are wrapped

deep in the heart of God

Drawing my Green

from it's pulse

My branches are raised

in praise

As He smiles down

 from the sunny sky

Psalms 37:3-4

"Trust in the Lord, and do good:

Dwell in the land and feed on His faithfulness.

Delight yourself in the Lord.

And He shall give you the desires of your heart."

Day 20: Link

Sudden connect

and I feel

your pulse again

Steady of stream of

electric signals

Weeks in the desert

looking for your water-words

And then I 

hear your heart?

Singing slow-fire and sorrow

My consciousness explodes 

the yellow sparks ignite

in the dustbowl

of my mind

How I've missed you

Day 19: New Blue

I chased you through my dreams*,

Bursting Blue inside your eyes.

You were the speed of sound

Traveling a hundred miles...

Cold was the wind

between us

As we rolled through

the swiftly changing scenes

We fell into the Sea,

heard the words the whales have sung.

My skin bled into yours,

As cloudy water filled our lungs.

But then I was a 

thousand years away

falling through the stars

Crisp Constellations

Neptune and Mars

I had no Air 

to speak the words

I love you, New

I love you, Blue

*based on a real-life trippy dream

Day 18: CoralBreaker Lagoon

For Olive, Babylon and the Pope

Scale the black

and decorative fence

While global lamplights

reflect on the water

Blue and white tiled pool

Rootbeer spilling on the cement

Just skin, against 

the velvet darkness

Katy Perry, summer air

Diving deep, water-world

around us

We were timeless

in the night

Laughing 'till our eyes

were bright

We: alive

We: the fearless

When we were

Children of Summer

-Relish

Day 17: Friend

I ranted

Kicked stones

Let myself feel the sadness

Deep in my bones

                    

And you sort of smiled,

And loved me: limitless

Offered no shallow

And overused advice.

But clambered the rooftops with me

And let me rest in the shadowed trees.

My soul had room to breathe.

While our eccentric dialect

Kept the witches from

Knowing our secrets

We are the foxes,

Fleet and rather random

Hiding in bushes,

And old abandoned

 Trains

I hope you know,

The world explodes.

With Hope and Expectation

When you’re near.
