Listening to every heart

Who Knew?

sooner than one’s insight
might perceive
in the calm down

when one hunkers over
in brown study

multihued moments explode

concepts breed
notionary magnets
pulling like lead pellets
toward
schisms fragmented

assembling rainbows

as the greenhorn squats
on a decaying stump,
plucking at blue-eyed grass
while red deer twitch away
bluebottles

black squirrels red-bait
yellow dogs sniffing
greenbrier for signature lines
of whitetail stag

can you weave cornucopia
completely before blue penciling
begins?

Who knew that redbuds
purpled in spring’s wakening,
reddling occurs across
eyelids squinting
when smiles face
bursts of gold overhead

go ahead,
quick
look
at the sun
and don’t smile…

can’t be done…

who knew?

that even without rain
one can be bowed over
in brown study

We all know who knew...it was you. And now we all do too. Thanks for the wonderful imagery.

And now through your words, my eyes now know, and I smile!    This was the most beautiful poem to wake up to, thank you.
