Facing Forward, Pursuing Progress
Lightness
Upon the
Summer breeze
Now an echo
Of a forgotten
Dream
Sunlight has climbed out
The forces of daytime surge
Hints of blessed nights
It’s audacious
Hubristic, really
To think these words
A silly spackle of thought
Might, maybe, change things
Dampen a bit of rage
Create a little love
Maybe, just maybe,
My audacity might
Bear fruit
Hope echoes
Within
Light across the cloud
The eye of God looking down
Changed when it meets me
Now facing westwards
Glory bursting through the trees
Cool air satisfies
The sunburned stars Destroyed by the daylight Longing for night’s reprieve
Innocence’s core
Deep into the abyss
Consumed by our longing
Willing sold for love
A fair trade?
Summer’s flowers bloom
This season of bursting life
The sun’s energy
brilliant arcs
cross the sky
boisterous clamor
accompanies
impressive qualities
nature’s domination
reminded
Upon the shoreline
Light and birds dancing in the sky
Evening’s dreaming comes
