Words without envelopes

Words without envelopes

Love given without praise

Plentiful like petals

White as a summer dais’

Sentences in ribbons

Untied and memorized

Then wrapped on a finger

And daily emphasized 

Afloat but still drowning

Afloat but still drowning

Having lost an ocean

In spiritual storms

Of endless emotion

With mistakes by design

A zen without zenith

To mold an ocean with

The feel of behemoth 

A lullaby to dirge

A lullaby to dirge

With no change in tempo

Like a waltz or polka

Or a frantic bongo

To live on a line with

No questions or quibble

Is to miss out on jazz 

And beauty of scribble

Out from the blooming daze

Out from the blooming daze

Traveling to find Hope

To have in my pocket

On discovery slope

In a community

A vast collective heart

I found a jigsaw piece 

Of a greater compart

No emphasis on stone

No emphasis on stone

Weaving around the tar

Skipping through blowing leaves

Without danger of far

In a world of worlds

Without friends and smiling

Happiness is hardcore

Munitions stockpiling

Beauty under dark clouds

Beauty under dark clouds

A thumb imprinting hard

Wild flowers are thriving

Taking over the yard

And yet unbeknownst to

This colorful display 

This vibrant colossal 

Electric storms just may

Fragments of forever

Fragments of forever

Constellation stars few

The moon pulling waters

Clouds leaving morning dew

We sit on the sidelines

Sparrows find poppyseeds

We try a shortcut through

The green grass and the weeds
