Deep and Meaningless Words
...You won’t see these words
in a shop window
printed across a smiling face,
or scribbled upon a wall -
they will probably never be daubed

That was Then, this is Now
...Once,
I saw rainbows,
across the tear washed sky.
Their iridescent gleam
illumining the astral realm
and spilling down into the waters below.

as an avalanche of maple
spills over the back fence

As a world of fragrant beauty, can be found in the glossy, honeyed nooks.
