Over
The treetop
Into the sky
Noticed a passing cloud
Pinkish

Turning
Its color
To that of grey
Beauty like no other
Darker

Night sky
It turns to
Black like the night
No light to refract off
The cloud

Sapphires of blue are noble cloaks; 
for royals sheer delight.
For they refract, for their folks; 
rays of bright moonlight.

Wear them well, these cloaks of blue; 
for they just love to wear you well; 
they are ever true.

beams of hope tendered
mirror images refract 
combustive spark

burning ember flames 
radiant glare recycles
residual steam

intense stare refuels
bursts of energy stokes flame 
sweet puffs of smoke stream

Raindrops refract sunlight to form 
A rainbow
A teardrop refracts sunlight to form 
A colored bubble
So,when l see teardrops 
Running down your cheek
I would say 
Don't cry baby 
Cheer up
I have seen a teardrop 
With a colorful rainbow
(a bright tomorrow)...

The bending light from the headline
News
As it enters my optic
Nerve
Resonates from eager
Fingertips
Coursing to my
Cortex
As the crisp crunch of
Paper
Crackles in self
Satisfaction
The pungent wisp of fresh
Paper
And strong
Ink
Refract
A
Poem

...I can touch

What is it that compels us to 
forego
what is.
The known.
Fact, 
proven or held true by the 
many.
Excuse ourselves from family 
and friends.
Step into a moving river 
Swim against the tide 
And try 
To alter the current,
Refract the shadow
Refine the flow,
with words 
that really define us....

When I say I love you
It was a diamond of word
And by sun or moon
You have some light
Of meaning here
Nothing will glow in darkness
If the eye is closed
My love looks better
Where the light appears
I can only refract
And reflect
The composition of the soul
That on my crystal turns
And radiates
My heart to shower
Beauty beyond mere gold....

Crystals refract light into small rainbows
cascading together, a silver gleam,
masquerading as a clear white for those 
not ensnared within winter’s frosty dream.

Blinding brightness wars with frigidity,
warming the courageous who stand between
Bel’s stubborn sun and Cailleach’s snow sea.
Clarity of detail defines the scene.

Oh, how lovely to cast thy eyes on heavenly bodies.
Where satellite images refract
beneath clear transparent streams.
Myrtles mute and calm.
Wherein verdurous traits acquired.
Yearns to cross t-s' and dot i-s' .
Thoughts flew through for considerations.
Cool breeze through lustrous despondent atmosphere.
Goosebumps all over bodily cover.
Some fond improbable delights.
But striking the flag not an option....

Natures Nuance


With the early morning rain
The fertile flowers campaign
The red robin builds his nest
The bumblebee starts its quest

Valleys spread their vernal view
As the mountains stretch their peaks
Raindrops dance a spilling spew
Rainbows refract, heaven speaks.

refract the light back where it belongs so strong 
let it linger not too long enough to make them see

Children of light and fire;
Born of Mother Earth’s womb;
Opalescent, shimmers;
Elemental stories,
Told by nature, herself
And sculpted, some may be.

Earth, air, fire, water
All combine and fuse;
And Mother gives birth;
But we must release;
We dig for treasures.

Faceted lights,
Refract color;
Wheel of life spins
A stone rainbow.

Like me they
Once were dust;
Now precious,

Treasured
Baubles;
Gems....
