If last night was portend
Of beauty to be seen in skies
That grow colder with each turn
Of this wobbly earth on an axis
We draw in our imagination
Just as we draw our own faint images
To mimic that which would
Be beyond mortal capacity to capture
Then I am filled with envy
For those who see through un-jaded lenses.

My own vision being colored red
By the sting of cold against skin
That would bring blood to my eyes
In protest of such uncomfortable climes
As the past has written in logs

Average temp
Precipitation
Pressure bars

All defined
                   As the warmth I crave continues
Decline

Still the stars are brighter without such heat
As might make comfort
And when lightning would streak to win the race
For dominance in heaven,
Knowing that it nothing to compare to
Summer’s cracking storms
I am forced to see

Even my blurred bias towards this season
Is misplaced

Perhaps as is my expectation
Love should be more than tepid.

perhaps this is why we as mortals put limits on our mental abilities....if we didn't perhaps we'd see things like looking through a microscope magnified 1000 x's more.  Meaning the beauty and ability is beyond our conception???? I dunno?  

But your words are most definately food for thought.  

Good good morning and thank you for writing and sharing your proverbial thoughts with us once again.  Your incredible. smiles and hugs.

Our masks tend to hinder us from some of the simplest things. This was great to read this morning.

I love this opening stanza, it's sets the tone of the poem.....pulls the reader in

and the last line...SIGH all of that and more....

HUGSSSS.....

Will the wind ever remember
the names it has blown in the past
with its crutch, its old age, and its
wisdom it whispers no this won't be the last

(sigh) The stratosphere and barometer are never everything when it comes to the weather, it is beyond all layers and surely the stars are all what those reports are missing! (big hugggsssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, I love this, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ron, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
