thoughts tangled tangent

slivers were just hazy

Craving otherworldly Respite
...Crystal eyes gleam
at the prospect of
scintillating sapphire blush
gliding films of

they capture evanescent moments,

A red rose at its crest;
The whittled feather, bathed in ink,
Set to bare its best.

Colors of a Wintered Life
