“Beauty…”

In crumbling walls,

Dying plants, ...

Blue skies.

Snow.

Rocky mountains. ...

Sparkling…

Bitter,

Burning, ...

“Memories frozen in time.”

Numb, icy fingertips.

Warmth of smiles. ...

Things aren’t what they seem.

Reality lies beyond,

What eyes at times, ...

Even stones can glow,

With the warmth,

Of a sun in love. ...

On cold days,

When gusts blow snowflakes

Off mountain tops, ...

Jagged.

Colored.

Gradually breaking apart....

Cover me and sparkle.

I may freeze,

But who cares? ...

Technological advancement.

Humanity progressing.

“A bright future.” ...

Rented.

For the day.

I wonder who’ll sit there. ...

“You’re there…”

Among the trees.

Around the curve. ...

Health.

Peace.

Love. ...

Hidden in green.

Surrounded by sand.

“Life’s strange…” ...

Even tiny stains on a wall,

Are beautiful…

On some days, ...

You’re wooden,

But look hungry.

Today, ...

The cooper.

Yourself.

Together. ...

Paint me happy.

I’m getting old.

Not much to look at. ...

Why are you so far away?

To watch the lake.

Why? ...

Smile,

Dangle your feet,

Stick out your tongue, ...
