Wash Day Lately, I wander fickle winds Warm jet streams, then chilled extremes As I flounder, like a kite in tow Although, what has fate painted on my face But boundless skies, to soft blue eyes Waiting patiently the prayers of trees Budding leaves against my knees Has heaven changed horizons for a time? Here, I see the clouds throw wager at the sun Stars spin dizzy, just chips before the dawn is done Lying back into the arms of unknown scores Let them wander too beyond the great outdoors Should I say the words, that common place absurd’s? Did you feel my breath upon your neck, Or are you blind? Copyright Kkh 4/16/08 |

All I can say is lovely...absolutely lovely...may have been away for a while, but I knew where to look for a good write...If I remember correctly you were and still are an expert in writing about nature. Loved the lines: "Waiting patiently the prayers of trees Budding leaves against my knees" |

TD "Did you feel my breath upon your neck, Or are you blind?" There is nothing quite like an impactful ending such as this. Enjoyed! |
