It grants us serenity
And we giggle, merry fools.

alight with patchwork color;
The stars awaken,
their sleepy eyes catch the Moon;
Perfect Florida Sunset.

A caged skylark

clouds alight
dew beads on wet leaves
feels like love...
sleeping buds
blossom their unfolded wings 
a caged skylark trills.

Dawn awakens, senses heighten
Orange sherbet streaks brilliant
Underpin clouds your eyes taste
Alight on your tongue ere they fade

Cheer out if you’re listening 
Truly must your heart-mind be - singing
Across and spacing as seasons
Dance away ‘til next ceasing.

it in you out in me now alight,
and like you I play my guitar,
death in life to be won by delight.

Who's willy resembled a candle
Just last night
His wife set it alight
And now it's too hot too handle!

To frighten spooks throughout the night
But there was an hitch
When a nasty witch
Made all our candy Kryptonite

Dawn of Autumn

Autumn dawns,
bright red and rosy,
dancing with fair feet aflutter,
Her dazzling hues alight with joy,
as fiery faces fall to greet
the Earth.

Wings slice evening air,  
Geese alight on mirrored pond,  
Splashing, ripples spread,  
Feathers silver, dusk turns gold,  
In the twilight, shadows wed.

Embers of Love

The days draw on
And your touch 
Is like a 
Permanent glove
Your heat
Equates mine
Fire with fire
We are alight
And burn
And burn
Until there is no more

Premium Member Upon An Infinite Flight

When the morning lark has honed its  silver chirp,
a dream-like canvass floats into a higher octave,
setting passages alight with sun filled prospect as eternity dissolves its outer limbs.

Premium Member Overnight Rain

The martins cartwheel in flight,swerve then dive
and suddenly
alight upon
the moist 
mud,
beaks
filled full
of mortar,
to layer nests
that cleave seamless beneath the hanging thatch.
