Premium Member Wayra Chameleon

A sunrise whisper
Blowing across life’s palette
Burnishes the days colors
Makes diamonds of the dew
Succumbs to Autumn’s waning touch

Frozen ice shelf spans water Snow burnishes the ice-way Tears that once been sadly shed Now freeze in their place

Premium Member A Process of Discovery

inspiration burns
turns a spark
from the tinder
     of imagination
into a flame..
          a flame
that gathers up
          experience
burnishes and
             refines
a nugget of emotion
into an image, then
crystallize as a phrase
to become
      a spoken word,
a voice
from
the seeing eye

The Stormbird

Lonely Stormbird calls, 
‘I am here. Choose me. Love me’.
Distant thunder rolls.

Flying rain in air —
Touching my cheek, alighting
On my eyelashes.

I hear, rain music —
On leaves, on roof, in gutters, 
Muted cars hiss by.

The rain burnishes
Dull browns and greens — to copper,
To emerald fire.

After — sun’s rays raise 
Steam; from road, leaf and feather.
Lonely Stormbird calls,

Autumn Wigs

Autumn burnishes furry heads, even we, who however scant our hair flourish in this wind-blown leafy. No room for stray gray wisps; our locks turn golden brown, crown our minds with crinkly laurels. Mr. Groundhog looks pretty spiffy in his cabbage leaf toupee, even the bent old lady who walks pell-mell in the Fall, the strewn and gusty, has sewn together a wig so big that it covers her face with beauty.


Fraction of Your Heart

On a cold winter, bright dawned the beautiful day 
When God bestowed a free spirit of soaring ray
To light up lives of your dear ones with all its glory 
A flustering fragrance that forever reminds your tuneful story 
In rare moments of warmth, you rent out a fraction of your heart
Sweet as a chortling brook, it echoes deep into my inner part
Soothing Ice that ignites passion, potent fire that burnishes bright 
As precious as life, as true as death, a fraction of your heart….
