Friendship – a seamless sky,
far too complex to gauge or delve.
At times like the early rays of morn,
it fills one with joy.
At times like a gentle breeze,
it cuddles and cossets.
At times like dark clouds,
it overcasts the mind.
At times it comes blowing like a gale,
sweeping us off our feet.
At times it sprouts like a seedling,
growing out into a tree, giving shade.
It blossoms like a Night Queen,
diffusing in the air, a heady scent.
At times like the plaintive notes from a flute,
it saddens the soul.
Like a rainbow it may swiftly vanish,
or remain like a beacon,
guiding us when storms rage.
In darkness, it burns like a candle.
In loneliness, a sweet presence.
At times so silent
At times so very eloquent
Finally like an unfinished tale,
A fond memory,
A lingering scent
Like the life sustaining breath
It remains…..!

Fear overcasts hope
Terror has devoured Paris
Long is justice’s sword!*

run far enough for to escape the retribution of justice!

A Faerie Recognized! ©
Recognition led me near
To a ‘faerie’ dragonfly
Magic 'glow' attracts
I am astonished so
My quick ‘blink’ takes her to wing
beauty, fantasy, firework, imagery, insect, word play

Spring’s moon overcasts
Lightening sparks seen about
It’s here, there, then over to where now?
The fire fly’s show time!

I very rarely get up at the breaking of dawn
a blanket of muddy clouds
overcasts
an eyelash slither of light sliped pass
as the crescent moon cuts it's way through
with a wink
suddenly, in the neighbors yard next door
three startled deer stood in line
watching me
as I turned into my driveway
a quick dash and off
they ran for the thick woods
safe from the light of my headlights
no sooner than I parked
my headlight shining on the dead grass
engine running
a bushy tail rabbit ran into the light
I had forgotten how peacefully the animals play
under nighttime's moonshine
when I turn for my last snooze of the night
rarely
do I get up at the breaking of dawn
now I'm glad I did
as my spirit connected with nature once again

TRUST
Trust is dust and often it’s unjust
Trust is empty and it’s a fool’s comfort
Trust is just an emotional trap
Trust is just a justification for hope
Trust is superficial and it is not beneficial
Trust is just an idea
Trust is rusty and nasty
Trust is not an oath
Trust is not a covenant
Trust is just a state of mind
Trust is just a justified excuse to obscure the truth
Trust overcasts the truth
Trust is like lust its untrue and unjust
Trust is not a must for a just love
Trust is not the crux of love
Trust is a musk worn to oust the fuss
Trust is non-exist ant and far too distant
Trust is not a plea of allegiance
Trust is only hope, the hope that your only just and justified hope is Not betrayed, I do not
trust I only hope that the truth in something that I am led to believe in does not change
therefore I keep hoping and hence there no reason to talk
