Falling Into The Sky Sun's sanguine seeps across the mountain through snow-capped peaks of crystal icing frosted from weep before of capricious sky. And, I close my eyes through sighs that unfolds like petals of rose, careening out of myself, whirlwinding into the echo of shadows, rising down into the up of falling with intensity. Into the silence of shifting sands like a kite through waves of wine through time the sun sways softly over skin, bathing me in it's light. I catch my breath, so fresh upon the wind through horizons of misplaced dreams to find that they still live in freedom's flutter, cradled with peace. Imagination becomes the promised sky through brushed hues of rainbow that blend with strokes of azure strutting a gown of diamond lace clouds. Laughter plays beneath the sunset leaving behind faded pictures of the past from the unfinished canvas of eyes as I become a work of art by the muse of the Lord in terracotta eclipse of day. The moon hangs in black velvet aside stars sprinkling lemon drops of dew that tickle in swirl across my tongue and coat my feathered sails in adorn of miracles. Breathless, in kiss of heaven's honey through boundless sip awash over my voice, I stroll in hum of serenity's song, I am, at once, beautiful. But, night refuses to dance into the dawn, for, this is just illusion, and, fate has not yet bestowed upon me the wings of a butterfly. Regret pales the kaleidoscope of life as I am surrounded by the hands of a thousand clocks ticking on my soul that 'too late' is fast approaching. My heart has too many blank pages from books I never sought to read like an unopened window of opportunity made from fragile mosaic of glass ready to shatter without warning from tears that smear the windowpains. Still, one must peer out once in a while to fly into the beckon of love until, at last, dreams see light all the while soaring with intensity of falling into the sky. By Melissa P. Monette |
