.Closed.

Color landscapes

echoing vividly

Surround the wind

feel it thrusting within

Close your eyes

and feel the dewdrops

to your skin

Brush your feet

Skip and fall down

to the velvet lawn

Close your eyes

and close your eyes still

Extend your arms

slowly, gently

And to a deafening speed

take your flight

as you carry your soul

to the wind

Jaded,

Contoured;

Your mind is set on falling

Drifting,

Sliding;

with the cold mist,

Capturing the first day

of Autumn

Leaves swirling around your feet

as you wade through

And bathe yourself

with sunshine dim
Your head feeling heavy

as you look straight up

And there you saw

the fullness of it all;

the mirror of your vanity

And there you whisper…

Shower my paradise with beaches sand

and tomorrows kept…

As you laugh with the whirling

of the clouds

Dewdrops now intensifying.

Now open your hands

and feel the teardrops

of the sky

as it wipe down your cheeks,

to your feet

telling . . .

The day has come

for you

to be free.

note: Exactly a year ago, my mother passed away. And I unfear I inherited the gene that took her away. Maybe in this way we are still together. Maybe in this way, she is still in me and I in her. And today, I envy her peace.
