I drive the dusty gray
past leaning fence post, uncut hay;
Birdsun layers and a sunning-greet
send their iridescent call
to unsweater self-hate and loss's grief.

   Crickets chirp "No more pity--
   Take a look at what IS pretty!
   Immerse yourself in nature bath.

   Forget your mind and past mistakes.
   Float them through the air;
   It doesn't matter, brain right or left
   Or, if it's been out to lunch somewhere."

Convolutions, only gray matter,
Simple dust on gray gravel

        ~Sadelite~

(P.s) Jo, spelling error free; any misspellings are purposeful.  Much appreciated my big sis through the tough ones...)  Whoops!  I just found a typo-birdsun layers was originally intended as birdsung, but it's not a bad mistake.  I'll keep it.)

Imagery, sensations, even the gravel dust
sifted in on this one, and settled all
around me.

Sincerely, this gave my humor a tickle...especially with the play on brain right or left...extremely liked....as certain parts of the brain harbor special occupations...(smile)

This was a very unique read, enjoyed!
Thank you for writing and sharing.

Well, I thouuuuught there weren't any.  I threw this up so quickly and am multi-tasking.
  Yep, I did make a couple of typo's.  Just fixed them. Now I think it's the way I intended except birdsun, but that's ok.

    Slad you liked and will treasure.
I treasure you!   Slad-hm.  New word.  What a day!

Thanks, TD;
   It might be what it's all about, but sometimes it's easy and sometimes it's not.
To get a consistent focus-that's what's it's about... Still working on that one... Thanks for your comments.  I always enjoy your visit.
