The sun is speaking,
dancing across the stage on ballet shoes
it nudges me gently on the shoulder
awakening the sleepy grass
piano keys flickering, lighting up the green.

In splashes of color, birds assemble for the viewing
dotting the branches along the seats of leaves.

They serenade eachother in a language i hear only when i am not straining to listen.

Trees and flowers hear the calling.
In prayer, they bow and sway and blow a kiss to the creator.
They sway in the rhythms of lulling breezes sweeping the open fields,
surrounded by the now cerulean blue that takes centerstage.

Screaming, writhing, the bloody faced sun shouts and cries of the silent line between life and death, yesterday and tomorrow,  
warning of both demise and promise,
inhaling and exhaling, one last cry , it vanishes into its own self
only to be reborn and die again, a million times over
connecting the eyes of past spectators to mine right now.

It sometimes  stays unnoticed
until heavy black ink washes all below with one equalizing brushstroke of night,
dissolving me into the forest, becoming absorbed within the nightsky..... eternally..... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Nice descriptions, Michele! But it didn't put me to sleep (which is all right with me because I don't want to yet). Anyway, well done!

LOL, sorry Michele.
No way, it made me giggle, not snooze. Maybe later tonight, a second reading after midnight.
