Nette Onclaud Poet Lyric

In This World

Thin stilts between earth and heaven
bend into a arch of tossed dusk
reflecting amiable strains 
fleeting weeds embrace... 
fingers of parting sky paint jeweled combs
twirled in a bun settling on the
nape of  windblown curtains; a night
arriving bears cupped hands ready
to tuck a blanket of rhinestones, much 
like stars moving from one house 
to another...

and life flashes by as endless travelers 
floating in azure tour the hours in an imperial
journey, rising and falling with the
kneads of rocks and moss: throughout 
the aroma of glazed seasons, flowers
close and open the hesitant hearts of 
men and gargoyles;
that always,  fire of rainstorm changes
to sunlight, black ravens to crickets, spite
to nobility—desiring only
the music of love’s flight for being,

if only to understand the wonder of this world.

Sara Kendrick May 6, 2013 at 10:14 AM Reads like a winner to me...Great job..Very creative way to go for the contest..Thanks for stopping by..My mouse was wireless and it was in the part that goes into the USB port that was the problem..It had gotten where it was loose and when I would move the computer then the mouse would stop working..I would have to unplug the part that goes in the port and replug it up and sometimes it would work and sometimes not until it was a not working at all..I got a new wireless...Sara
