The barest wisp of colour

Even on the grayest days
The barest wisp of colour
Provides beauty enough to

Breathe life into my spirit
Bring warmth into my heart
Displace despair with optimism

My camera captures
A tugboat
Held for all time
In a sea of gold

Like the dragonfly caught
In amber
From a time
No words remember

I dream
Of guardians
In goldenrod armour

In countenance: fierce
But whose hearts
Have the gentleness
Of brushed cotton

I am often reminded
Of the grandiosity
Nature embraces
The utter grace of it all

Grandiose nature
Makes me feel
Very, very
Small

From deep in the Earth
Driven by heat
Water bubbles up
Carrying the stuff of Earth

Depositing, Depositing, Depositing
On mounds and terraces
The beautiful stuff of Earth
Cools, solidifies, colours

I become attached
To what was
Replay it
Over and over

Wishing it
Each time
To be

Different

She flitters
Carrying thimblefuls
To the flames

Like a dancer
In a deadly waltz
With blackness

I seek the road
Which takes me higher
Up to where the magic lives

And there take in
All that is
Spread out into infinity

I love the way
A daylight moon
Reminds me

There are stars
Beyond blue sky
Uncountable stars

And planets circling
Most of them, and
Some with moons like ours

I stand still
Losing my balance
As the world falls away
Beneath my feet

Eroding, eroding, eroding
All which had supported me
Until I am perched
On a pinnacle
