Poetry — I am a time of day

I am a time of day

that stood still despite the fray

washed out pinks and blooming violets

Tickling tree lines smiling saying oh let’s

spin adrift the stars

and slurp up moonshine like the arts

a heaving museum piece becomes the sky

slaughtering negativity where those thoughts do lie

the sun drops anchor into the mirror sea

and wishes disperse like thousands of bees

I am a single crash of cymbals

sounds that collide and dissolve into mumbles

screams and shouts that outlast a sunset

crying with needs that aren’t met

yet on glossy steeds of hope

my soul knows it will be able to cope

and wait until the clock strikes love

when the clouds disperse above
