The Colour of the Breeze
"The Colour of the Breeze"
Star Jasmine,
orange blossom,
pine leaves, and
floating cymbidium
dipping oars
into purple and white
Agapanthus, drip off
a lid on that day
exotic Nile lilies
with lips of mead
drip potency
singing only
the sweetest
memories
the tiger lilies roar,
in silence, cut up, bittersweet,
they are sitting
torn fresh in the pew,
in front of me
watching and waiting
for what?
gravity in the moment
just, being
colour me cryptic
Agapanthas purr
through closed
jade mysteries
on that day indigo
blue ... a date with
destiny,
a winsome crew
each with their secrets
renewed, knew
they try to sing hymns
whispering, thinking
I could never do this
such singing
ridiculous
they try to sing hymns
whispering, thinking
I am not near them
but I am all the
colours miraculous
surrounding them
speaking
in different tongues
I lean into them, listening
leaves
floating like notes
to remember
found in
the colour of the breeze
lifting potent memories
freedom then,
nothing stopping me
