Draped in paradoxal hues,
windowed eyes catch stars
that halo rising moons, then
vanish into morning views,

watch the towering corn climb the fenceless sky;

it's the growing season !!!

the trees are full of antipation,
making shadow pictures
spreading their foliage
across concrete lawns,

they slumber deep within an august daydream,
yet intuitively knit shawls as autumn winks,
weaving tightly togther, interlocking roots
beneath earth's cover, singing with summer,
bracing for winter,

what faith they have !!!
as they lean upon eachoter's shoulders,

love is without definition,

speculation and folly,

i've tripped upon my own misreadings
of what appeared to be clearly written signs,

beaten up a bit, i look towards the stonefaced sky
still pulling up threads of pollyanna visions,
stiching together faces of dreamlovers
that have yet to come;

is there truly any alternative?

What wonder seeds your words, when you write of the nature of a woman's heart

Michele -- I think your pollyanna vision is superb!  There is wisdom in your words way beyond the norm and yet that sense of awe and wonder that comes with the innocence of a child -- a very beautiful blend, and a treasured one.  Brilliant writing in my book.   ......jo

I do so love reading your work and lingering amongst your words.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

"i've tripped upon my own misreadings
of what appeared to be clearly written signs,"

~ Oh, yes! I too have tripped over my "pollyanna" visions, and yet, there be no "alternative" for me.

Many clever lines! ~ as per usual with your writing!

Happy holiday hugs,
Linda

I kept walking past the title...saying to
myself that this should be good....I walked
past it again....saying that I really do
need to read this,  that I would see something
magical...

My instincts were right...I was not disappointed...

Methinks you caught more
than a star or two...

enjoyed this very much, Michele...
