Life is lovely

How does one condone
the migrant browns
protruding at the pivotal point
of a springtime recital?

when all but the final few
lost out on the grace of God
with the firmament's facechange

i woke to a renegade shadow
browning the base of rain's
great masterpiece, the glory of green
and the colorful bonnets of spring

the memoirs of autumntime leaves
tossing themselves on blue ribbon lawns

o wearisome me

is this latter day suicide
or the yearning to never die

just when i returned from
the comatose winter of flatlines

the master reminds
how life can be lovely
when we make peace
with the revelation
that things are rarely
what they may seem to be.

Enjoyed this ER! And the last verse just sums up life as far as I am concerned.

In this wonderful poem you show your deep awareness, you see the beauty around you and you hear the comforting voice of Nature even when everything seems lost. Mother Earth cries out to awaken us ...

Love this much, dear EmmaRose.
