Common Ground
Air lifted, weightlessness, falling, falling down
Tiny circles, pirouette, searching for common ground...
Enveloped in bitterness, this flight feels so free
Dead within the emptiness of wilted dried up leaves...
Dangerous, unaware of it, the sky is so damn blue
Paralyzed as dementia sets, colorific eyes of who...
Sensing this, nothingness, that resides within the heart
Falling down to cement, the glass shatters apart...

Glimmer so fine with colorized finesse.
Colors define, devour the minds of men.
These stones do tell nature’s bolder caress.
Colorific rainbow designs begin.
Multifaceted placement releases stress.
Bringing peaceful blessings for each ones sin,
These stones of all sizes lying at rest,
Show glorious landscape yielding its best.
