Becoming

In the perfect stance of dawn,

I lay, listening to the silence

Of day, gathering her thoughts,

Planning her statements,

For a span, destined already as good.

She is writing her love song,

To woo world to awakening,

A world she loves so deeply,

With all her heart and might.

Words come easy, for such

A lover she, whose ultimatum,

The sacrifice of mercy for life,

Preens under a waning moon.

Unfailing, though chameleon,

She stays her course.

For that is her nature, abiding,

And sure as sunrise in its glory.

MUSIC OF A DREAM

Call the genius out

Listen to him spout

The questions already answered

The music already mastered

Life in a bottle he says

Is anticipation in a stream

Tapping to the music of a dream

Call the genius out

Listen to him spout

The grant of three wishes

On a sunny April afternoon

The poui trees are singing again their song of blossoming. It's the season of Easter here in T&T; and somewhere, in the northern hemisphere my poet friends are exclaiming the delight of Springtime

After days on end of hot hot scorching sun; sky decides to bless us with some cooling rain.. "You're welcome"

After which the mountains i view from my front door are lush and green. Meanwhile in the northern hemisphere my poet friends are exclaiming the delight of Springtime

From my backdoor however, i look to sunrise and everyday birdsongs, as this is the way of my clime here in T&T. Meanwhile in the northern hemisphere my poet friends are exclaiming the delight of Springtime and a return of birdsongs.

the opened door -

a white butterfly

flirts across my view

You've heard about the Monday Blues

well this is Monday WRites (musing on the definition here of rite, as any customary observance for eg the rite of afternoon tea).
