Expressions Poetry Journal: Rural Thoughts

Colorful Aspen Grove in Fall

Shadows deep

Hold secrets swarming

Within an untold mind

Reach for Aspens

Painted on portraits

Viewed by the

Leaping sun

Change

There came a day at summer’s full entirely for the world to see; thinking only of fallen angels, where the heavens need to be. The ascended sun shown to all as flowers rise in bloom; silent ships sail in graceful rippling, hours live inside my room.

Time encircled with speechless doubt sparse symbols of unclear words; needlessly spread upon the earth, spoken loudly as mockingbirds. Each was sealed to a belief of faith not permitted to consume this time; protecting ones awkward show, as our moments end with rhyme.

Our fleeting moments of daily flight clutch tightly to faltering hands; facing life with uncertainty, devils taught us to understand. Failure fails around our eyes no sounds to clear the air; bonding with angels who never stray, holding tightly for they're aware…of change.
