Streaks of Poetry

Sometimes In silence
I question citrine stars~
what streams beneath
murky waters,
Is hope still flowing 
through rusty ripples,
why do we live
in an orb 
of sheer blindness, 
would the wind
ever seize tunnels
behind the black hole,
or are we destined 
to narrate novels
too narrow and unseen
for the naked eyes.
Whilst the earth 
lies dreaming,
manifesting milky-ways 
quilted on magical mats,
wishing, hoping, praying
that pastel colored patience 
and crystal clear compassion
would vaguely sway  
like glowing fireflies 
amongst the darkest 
edges of innermost core.
Transmitting seraphic
breezes upon 
tender branches 
of silk cotton trees.
But amidst the 
destructive defacing
of turquoise heart 
within evergreen forests,
sun and the 
moon still flicker
streaks of poetry 
along the linings
of tattered 
tweaks and wilted weed.

Yet worldly impulses 
fail to remember
that mother nature 
is in need of kindness,
as she’s been 
fed poisonous petals
dipped in a quagmire 
of ignorance. 
Escorting her 
golden spirits into an
inexorable grievance, 
as ghastly greediness
left no rosy seasoning,
of soils we strolled, 
paths unnamed and 
undiscovered halt, 
questioning toils 
of intrinsic creation~
the earth lies
in solitary slumber,
for in delicate dreams 
we sing songs 
of tranquility, 
more mellifluous
than the burning 
fumes we 
inhale mindlessly.
