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. © 8:39pm October 08. 2014

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
