waters flowing fiesty down the stream
endless energy dartingly roaring
incessant rumblings of enthusiasm
under doting sun the giggles gurgling
freshness sprinting and cascading
simmering lifefilled and bubbling
in a luscious melody of breezy babble
twirl effervescent endless whirls of curls

Somewhere among
the sleepy coconut heads,
I trailed towards a song.
Twilight and the essence
of a Moon, dashed dartingly
between the legs of my shadow
and I remember the feel of those
words, as if they fell like leaves
Only I was the tree cradling each
syllable the wind whispered-
A silent mourning, so beautifully
bejeweled that the clouds became
entangled with my cheeks and the
rain and my tears wept, together.
For as I entered this song carved
by the hands of an angel, I found
that tomorrow was but an endless
string of dancing footsteps,
Covering the bleak realities of my world.
