After the Storm

AFTER THE STORM

Babes and birds breath a prayer wish
  upon gush of silky soppy swift swish.
Merciful Zion must have heard
  for sometime the bleeding sky trot.

A mile long grin peeps on vertured hills
  as prismatic shades speak as petals swells.
Imprisoned now the storm in rainbow's chest
  as sun enfolds the shadows in zest.

Across blue blooded ocean's breeze,
   jolly handsome feathers finally find the mist
on bells bright blooming feast--
   no longer bent or shadow kissed.

Dimpled cheeks unfurl as dusk arise
   longing  rest after a turbulent surprise.
Sedulous moon and stars squire a light
   pageant-like prance for a night delight.

Amidst heartstrings spelled dreams
 cotton strums from a guitar rang in stream
Accompanied by rhymes from lapping waves 
 sweet [oh, sweet], scars  are healed

Cuddled safe and secure
  the little girl snore in twinkling tunes.
A dimpled cheek  smile 
  as she slumbers a long long while.

You give a lovely and calm atmosphere to nature after the storm has gone by. The final stanza is sweet and tender. (I like the grin on verdant hills!) // paul

Dear Olive, You have created many beautiful images of things we see after storms pass. I especially enjoyed the third verse and your description of the " blue-blooded ocean's breeze." Here at the beach, we see the jolly-feathered birds returning after each storm. Wonder where they take shelter? Beautifully written, my friend. Love, Carolyn
