Togetherness
Have you ever seen those beautiful sky paintings known as Fire rainbows?
You are one of them sparkling my life.
Have you ever seen those halos known as Ice crystal in the clouds?
You are one of them chilling my life.
Have you ever seen the spinning column of flames?
You are one of them when we often fight.
Have you ever seen those cute penitents?
You are one of them when I see you every day.
Have you ever seen Pele’s hair?
You are of them when we wake up together.
Have you ever seen the Blood Falls?
It is when we stop talking even for a minute.
Have you ever seen the desert roses?
You are one of them who blossomed my life.
Have you heard about giant permafrost explosions?
You are one of them when you get angry.
You are my rainbow eucalyptus and waterspouts.
You are clonal tree groves and eternal flame falls.
You are the spotted Lake and Nacreous Clouds.
You are my Green sand beach and starling murmuration of black sun.
The fog has lifted and the breeze blows
Though clouds still decorate
Pink hibiscus' blooms open wide
The sun they celebrate
Under currents run wild each day
Red, angry waves assail
Fear presses below the surf, waits
Then waterspouts prevail
Tossing, churning the ocean blue
Smooth as glass, just a dream
Below the surface sharks attack
Destroy connections' beams
Lost in the quagmire of synapse
What once was~ going~ gone
How can we reach the loving child
That left in the light of dawn
Coming down
So far away
Putting on such a display
One then two
One goes up
Then comes three
Four thank God
There is no gore
Five way out side
Six picking up fish
Then thunder crash
Lighting flash
Better get inside
Hoping no boat
Caught in the storm
Thankful protected
Not needing to alarm
Never thought
Lived to see the day
When the waterspouts did play
