Bathed in golden light,
Birds sing sweetly from the branch,
Dandelion sway.
Concrete’s jagged scar,
Through the cracks, a flower blooms,
Brave and beautiful.
Sun begins to set,
Fiery Hughes now paint the sky,
The sweet birds retreat.
Black blankets the Earth,
Crickets chirp their serenade,
To indifferent ears....
She hears the morning:
Birds chirping in harmony,
Life's song greets her ears.
She feels the midday:
Sun's warmth hugs her tender skin,
Whispers of the breeze.
She smells the evening:
Rain's fresh scent on thirsty earth,
Nature's perfume spreads.
She tastes the night air:
Hints of jasmine in the dark,
Coolness on her tongue.
She knows the world's pulse:
Not through site, but memory,
Her window...
The sun is rising
High above the rolling hills
And reaching to me
Flowers sway in breeze
They dance with the willow tree
Delicate and true
The sky is painted
A vibrant and lovely blue
And dotted with clouds
Bumble bees bustle
Franticly scattered in crowds
Like a busy town
My window lets me
See past my problems and look
At the summer day...
