Notes About The Poem

Pink Cotton Candy

Pink cotton candy striated clouds
Intermingle with blue
Lure the artist to observe painting
Upon a canvas true

Distant doves sing a summer song
Happy to raise a large brood
Soon they'll be independent
Seeking out their own food 

Life goes in circles, birds nesting
In places they were born
Some families never leaving
Hold onto land plant corn

The sun never failing man
Rises each day to warm
Today it rises fire ball red
Warning of impending storm

The canvas is painted a little
Different each day
No two exactly alike
For the earth doesn't stay

The earth's rotation brings change
Near and far to the sun
Slowly changing positions
Keeping life, having fun

Now the sun is golden glowing
Just above the tree tops
Its heat will be scorching too soon 
Destroying unwatered crops

Just a few minutes out on the porch
Time for spirit renewal 
How it prepares my inner needs
Helps my spirit fights duels
