his eyes part clouds,
hands breathe in, exhale arpeggios,
sing coral petals and rhythms
into spindrift echoes,
carve canyons,
tremble heaven in desert
throes, twine jagged stems
for James' rose...

I can hear them, too, and I can picture him standing alone midst Mother Nature's fireworks in the desert.

You've painted a fine picture,
and one that I'm sure he'll be honored to have.

Well done!

Sunshine, I am pleased you liked this! He did like it!

Bob, I had to think a while about the imagery. Storms are resounding, aren't they? God Bless you, too!

Sy: Short 'n sweet poem? Thank you! LOL

Magnus, Thank you for the sweet praise. It's been a long time since I've been able to get any semblance of poetry down. I've James to thank for the inspiration. I think his rose is celestial, so he did like this-- and left me blooming, too.
