The Colour of the Breeze


"The Colour of the Breeze" 

Star Jasmine, 

orange blossom, 
pine leaves, and 
floating cymbidium

dipping oars 

into purple and white 
Agapanthus, drip off  
a lid on that day

exotic Nile lilies 
with lips of mead
drip potency

singing only
the sweetest 
memories

the tiger lilies roar,
in silence, cut up, bittersweet,
they are sitting 

torn fresh in the pew, 
in front of me
watching and waiting 

for what? 
gravity in the moment
just, being

colour me cryptic

Agapanthas purr
through closed
jade mysteries

on that day indigo 
blue ... a date with 
destiny, 

a winsome crew
each with their secrets
renewed, knew

they try to sing hymns
whispering, thinking
I could never do this

such singing 
ridiculous

they try to sing hymns
whispering, thinking
I am not near them

but I am all the 
colours miraculous
surrounding them 

speaking 
in different tongues
I lean into them, listening

leaves
floating like notes
to remember 

found in 
the colour of the breeze
lifting potent memories

freedom then,
nothing stopping me
