A Bright Day

Smiles

delight

all around,

brightening joy

brought to a sometimes dreary, dismal world.

Each of us needs to do what is needed

to spread good cheer

given us

today.

Smile.

Violet Vision

The violet tinge of late sunset sends shadows

against the vine winding its way upward

as if to reach the vast array across the horizon.

While I cut flowers for the vase inside,

I wish I could take the sky's vibrant hues

before they vanish and place them

somewhere more than a mental view,

some place where the vision could be mine

forever and ever, to be taken from storage

whenever I wished to behold, to enjoy.

But unless Mother Nature dips her brush

in the exact colors once more - unlikely,

the painting I now appreciate shall be

a vagrant thought long gone, a memory.

Flowers on the Wall

I sit staring

blindly

at the flowers climbing

up

the wall, grasping the bricks

with tensile tendrils of vibrant vines through a tenacity

never ending.

The splash of vivid violet contrasts

against the dull drab stone,

while green leaves

lighten the darkness of shadow

as the sun swings its path toward dusk.

Too soon the blooms will die in the dark

for my eyes will no longer view

once the light disappears for another spell of night

without flowers seen.

Oklahoma Summer

Steamy breezes stir

Summer heat across the land -

Dry, thirsty, and parched.

Signs of Spring

Red and yellow splotches

scattered

throughout the lawn today

bring smiles

and yearnings for spring to hurry and stay.

Tulips brighten the last of winter.
