You cannot refute
The charm of a flute
Playing nicely with breezes...

Cast of dewdrop voiced thrushes
still pose on aloe bushes
tonal float or plume at dawn
sweet haze on marsh land rushes...

What are reindeer antlers for
Fighting other reindeer causing gore
Really anti-social
Social distancing tonal
Still need to stock their fridges I'm sure...

vivid
exuberant
witty&graceful
yet intense-
tirades 
          of emotion
unfettered,
             memorable
tone
        parallels
speaking fire,
scenic
          noise
in tonal
           depictions...

When the wind blows through the trees
I see you waving through the leaves
When the wind blows through the chimes
I hear your name in tonal rhymes
When the music starts to play
I dream about the dream someday
When the sun sets in the west
I think that's when I love you best...

INTENTION

transcendent

  turbulent
consolation

overlooking
tonal
  varitions&

 a
disjunctive

to
diminish

completely
eliminate
the
infinite

though

original
stay
unappreciated

surreal
  feelings
exposed
in

of
replicated

reinvented

Invisible formations streak 
Through clouds around the Moon, 
Then delve beneath the canopy 
to voice a mortal tune. 

Your soul the vessel to impart
In perfect tonal scheme; 
One second of a beating heart, 
A light year's span, a dream. 

Now as you wake in stretching moves,
As night to day evolves, 
A messenger left vital clues 
To aid your will to solve.

Merciless movement
Atonal antipathy
Nonsensical noise

clarinet crescendo
soaring above
the collided cityscape

Harried hordes
Aggravating acrimony
Terrifying tumult

piano playing
plaintively over
the primal phantasmagoria

Torrid traffic
Alienated aliens
Nihilistic neon

soaring strings
singing through
the striking scenery...

charismatically gifted
 in  conceptual leaps 
  expressions
opening 
          a doorway 
to destiny

moments in time 
           stumato,
from a butterfly mind

 scattered 
with unfinished masterpieces 
of imagination 

 drawings chalked& charcoaled 
with tonal modulation
the inner person
 portrayed 
face on
    in ambivalence
profiles turned to the light
 display emotional depth
through the genius
 of genuflection 
       with touch & sensibility...

Sounds of a squeaky swing.
Cat paws ballet dancing on
a wooden fence.
Lawn mowers, singing, happy 
through tall grass.
Songs of my neighbor, as she cooks 
breakfast.
A darling dog barks, not wearing a 
mask.

Woodpecker's back... Knocking on 
tree doors.
People outdoors without masks chat.
The pond in back bubbles,
beautifully.
The winds on the huge pinwheel sing 
"Spring is here", in colored, tonal, artistry!
