Restless leaves Tied died flames While they dance Sonata’s claim Unsullied hush Wishing little fingers Magnanimous, like a child’s heart Tumbling sheets of quiet velvet Like an old friend magnets Or mother’s caress Countless frames of ingress Climbing air on tip toes Looking over the top of tomorrow Viewing a beauteous maid Bending colors...relayed I thought about some great design Of labored strain & silent nights Murmuring streams & precious humor Forms of perfection answer Uniting lenders Flowing care Not one part shunned Or deafened But with objective Like a dolphins play Where coral forests sensei Each grace swirls new praise Discovered themes Grand piano of amusing origin Undisputed power coining Various immortal blooms Shall wealth a rugged choosing Absurdly molds the heirloom Sublime muse, owning cadence tones Swelling touch, a grin, to sooth the woe Restless leaves Tied died flames While they dance Sonata’s claim Unsullied hush Wishing little fingers Magnanimous, like a child’s heart Tumbling sheets of quiet velvet Like an old friend magnets Or mother’s caress Countless frames of ingress Believes death their friend...they say Asserting cause, despite what dialect maintains Far better glares ravish fires Falling with divining whispers Warm air melds comprehensive placebos Grand events in the midst of things Artful, really, this poet’s message Wondrous plot creating paintings Some prophetic truth laboring on Solemn grandeur without a sound A desert’s rain, a momentous swan Moment of truth stands eye to eye Touching all sense of quasi Light reflects time and space Tangled souls shall be the chase Darkness dreams & flirts with fools Though watercolors still reveal Desire ensnares a lover’s trust Inspiration attunes the artist Enchanting our soul along Pleasing examines illusion’s dream Shines with a purposeful regime What purpose flows greater? Standing tall & splashing clouds Each part is breathless, the child’s origin Under flesh of real estate Old pencils scribe words engraved Caress a shaman’s evolving fruit With brilliance inside the quiet lamp Which grazes and breaks madly through What greater courage would lead to school? Then what keeps our daily belief? Restless leaves? Tied died flames? Magnanimous, like a child’s heart! Therein a touchstone paints the moon Of autumn’s song & Nature’s tune.... A Reading Room.... When leaves return Dancing green of center’s burn |

Restless leaves Tied died flames While they dance Sonata’s claim There it is, a perfect introduction to the poem... This piece weaves itself into multiple colored tapestries of vision and emotion...Just like a beautiful sonata does.. enjoyed ---------ice ><> |
