Skimming Along
I seek to gather my thoughts
scattered about like leafs tumbling
along a path in Autumn winds
my attempt blown off my head
taken by the crow
over to the neighbors yard
I see my day before me, glowing
across the rose tinted lake
ripples float through my mind
real as the turquoise painted sky
I catch my words in the breeze
and snuggle them to me
when down settles a white egret
to hunt in the early morning
then disappears like my thoughts
an apprarition of clarity
goose bumped along my skin
wakes me from my solitude of night
a swallow skimming the water
flying freely as birds do
the pink of daybreak settles behind me
one side honey with suns first touch
the other still holding its promise
in pale silhouette of dawn
rolling verbs against the dome above
almost, I am ready to resume
to take the path I've built
and make something from my plans
even if they blow silently away
before I finish the last sentence
