Dank fumes soothe my lungs, the birds are chirping looking for a morning meal after their morning shower The sun now beams in radiance illuminating vapor left from the clouds’ dance Misty eyes gaze at misty trees home to scores of animals starting the workday the fauna gather and greet pleased with the damp, cool countryside the flowers, now full are enjoying their cigarettes relaxing contently, the animals, the flowers and I Are wondering where the spectacle is where’s the spectacle in the sky that invigorates my heart and rejuvenates my soul causing them to leap with the frogs and soar with the robins Sunlight emerged through the clouds to join the gift of the gods but where is their product? where is quintessence of color? Where’s my rainbow? putting my cigarette out and starting my workday saying farewell to the Earth’s creatures and bidding life forms luckier than I well, on their search for brilliance I only hope I’ll find my rainbow before I punch in my heart needs invigorating and my soul rejuvenating. |
