Imagination
Clouds of many forms, shifting in the sky,
Fading in and out, quietly passing by.
Seeing floating forms in full animation,
Requires a reset of mind’s vibration.
For one must look deeply beyond mere sight,
To see all the shapes in the dark and light.
Open channels of imagination,
Now you recognize the mind’s creation.
Cloud after cloud they begin to connect,
You still

Shifting Shapes
The shift is taking shape,
Shape shift to embrace the landscape,
Escape from the patterns,
Keeping you scattered.
Tattered souls losing their hold,
Battered and bruised their hearts grow cold,
Looking to scold,
Sharing the load.
Hoping they won't explode,
They drift into whole,
Losing control,
Falling so low,
They have to let go.
Releasing what they know,

Clouds Blowing in the Wind
The clouds are swirling in the wind,
Unique designs appear within.
An artist’s brush could be the air,
For many forms are found up there.
Look up there, it’s a swimming whale,
‘Twill quickly change with the next gale.
It seems so strange to change so much,
It makes it hard to keep in touch.
There’s a ship with the flag raised high,
It

Water Droplets
Morning dew clings tight
To thin branches reaching to the sky
While gravity tugs down.
Crystal balls reflect the world
While keeping their secrets.
Some round, some oval,
Frosty beads and clear droplets,
Nature's chandelier.
Light breaks through water droplets,
Forming bridges to the sky.
Mirror and lens both,
Each drop shows what surrounds it
And makes it larger.
Some eyes were wide open in awe,
Others are dreaming,

Shapes Shifting
There's room in my chair if you'd like to sit too
The space that is open is contoured to you
An afghan to cover us cozy and snug
Cuddled together, two bugs in a rug
There's room in my chair if you'd like to sit here
I won't bite, don't worry, have you no fear
But wait, just a moment, let's

snowflake shapes
Star shaped, seriously sassy
Nodding needle-nosed, light chassis
Capped column, looking conniving
Irregular yet interesting without striving
Decidedly diabolically dendrite-dated
Practically perfect, placidly plated
Snowflakes have six points or six sides
Depending on moisture in clouds and temp outside

Shapes
Sometimes I feel out of place, like I'm a triangle in a circle hole.
I have too much in some sides whilst I lack a bit too much at some.
It's hard to fit in a place you're not meant to be in. Especially when you're supposed to be there, just not meant to be there.
Sometimes

recognizing shapes in the clouds
souls are floating in heaven
clouds showed me a peek of them
a window to heaven
I see Jesus from the back
He glides upwards to meet them
there is another cloud that resembles north America
Does He know I am watching?
Do the clouds realize I recognize their shapes?
I watch, until the portal closes

Shapes
Everything is now a shade of a colour
Nothing is defined anymore
No longer are the edges clear
Moments of light
Moments of dark
But one blurs into the other
My better judgement tells me it’s because I don’t recognise myself anymore
If I ever did
I don’t know if I ever had something to compare this

Heroes come in all shapes
We planted roses,
both the white and the red,
To surround the stone
that stands above his bed.
That was last summer
on a day of full sun;
He was gone before
the rest of life begun.
Was a young puppy

Shapes
How can we be expected to "think outside the box" when so many of us have been categorized, neatly labeled, and perfunctorily "stuffed" inside one, and have little or no idea what "outside" is like?
The world is full of shapes
That have no place in nature:
Circles,
Triangles,
Rectangles,
Squares.
Circles are pointless;
The triangle
Is the only
Stable form.
Squares and rectangles
Comprise the
