Memories I: Emerald

emerald sky, jade evening
everything is a washed 
in pale light aglow 
in the coming night
shifting hues 
the wind blows 
gaining strength
echo of deep rumbles roll
lighting flashes brightly 
crack of sliver streaks
all held in the aftermath of a
searing white flash 
as branches dance 
overlapping hues 
of emerald and jade  
shadows swim and sway 
a storm is coming 
air electric 
rain waiting to break 
sitting on a porch 
feeling the dying heat 
chilly winds cool my hot skin
After burn of a white summer day 
everything now is in soft hues 
pale light green of evening, falls
Shifting shades of amber, jade, azure
twilight thunder echoes
lightning flashes sharp blue, white
all pulse in the aftermath 
shades of jade 
jasper and onyx die
as I wait the rain breaks 
in relief it comes, washes 
way the days malaise 
heat of sun rays fading 
in the swing dreaming 
feeling the misty rain 
listening to voices afar
a radio tuning in
iced tea dripping 
all darkening
in deeper shades of violet, indigo 
flickering sheet lighting plays
rain falling in absent rhythms 
watching emeralds and azures 
run 
sway
fade...
