On the Blush
Walk swiftly away from burning streets
follow a willow to the pulse of a stream.
Take up your oils and sable-tipped brushes
soften jagged shadows and thorns on the blush.
Be as a twig drifting down silvery dreaming
Into lavender eternity where cherubs never weep.
Fly far-far away from imploding heads.
Tie-dye sweet memories with the gratefully dead.
Sweep debris from both heart and the mind.
No need to twist wind; just breathe deeply-unwind.
Open your heart wide-Buff up fading faith.
Make daisy-chained laughter in sunflower glades.
Where angels fashion a blossom out of the sagebrush.
Every reaper mellows to yellow in their old age.
