as silence exaggerates
the tempo
and the undying sound surely

She exaggerates all the time said her great Aunt Ruth
Every tale she tells is brilliantly magnified

The sun cast bright golden yellow
Through the boughs of tall trees
Exaggerates gauzy light fog
Wrapping like swarming bees

The grass freshly mowed lies in clumps
Upon the dew laden
Ground, soon it won't have to be cut

Take wings and fly

The little white lie

Lies realize
That they’re lies

They’ll say “hello”
And never say “goodbye”...

Cafe coffee cobblestones,
First birds gather, comatose,

Not that it matters much,
We met on the horizon,
And now we almost touch.

Yes it's more than just a moment
Our spring will soon be here....
