Vineyard of Hope
The blueberry vine climbs steadily upon the giant tree
swarming vineyards with thick shrubs and laden branches
succulent berries stacked together in massive vineyards
Feeding the mass and nourishing hungry appetites.
Luscious blueberry vines span all over the land
Filling homes and gardens with enough juice for everyone.
Amidst the heightened heat, blueberries flourished on the street
blooming immensely and absorbing stamina from every corner.
Invigorating breeze filters over high mountains sucking up
Turbulent tensions from within, while irritating sounds
from the boisterous traffic rumbles through the historic town.
What a wonderful time this must have been,
somehow it feels like spring,
green trees blossoming over vast landscapes
while arrogant men with women lap around them
bragging with tempestuous sounds from burnt out muffler
fashioned to attract attention, intimidating birds and beast
disrupting strangers and sleeping neighbors.
Long fancy limousine parade up and down the historic street,
chauffeuring curious passenger dodging behind tinted glass
while scrutinizing bystanders.
Traffic speeding sixty miles per hour in a twenty five miles zone,
defying the traffic rules and forcing others to slow down.
Today felt a little peculiar my heart is romancing in the shadows
the scorching summer heat mingled with winter chills
oozing sweet, penetrating cities and countryside
spilling out fresh air and calming the atmosphere.
The exhilarating blue sky sinks deeply inside
penetrating the globe from side to side
Arousing my innate ambition pointing me to the right direction
I couldn’t help but dance and sing while amusing myself within.
As I looked beyond the thrilling blue sky my heart suddenly came alive
I felt a profound peace flowing from within
And goose pimples proliferated all over my skin.
