Month: May 2014

I carried you away from here
in a simple turned up leaf
caught in an underbelly current
riding high

Who would have ever known
it was simply the moon
standing guard like a night watchman
as I chased him across the night tailored sky
towed only by the pull of my dream

Wind fans bow
before the shore
Folding into nothingness
Waves just rush pass
Spot on for only a flash
Like a Spanish dancer
Crossing over the floor
To some unheralded
Rhythm beat

I run / I run
I run / run / run
I’m running
right // out

running right out of here
right out of here

I run / run / run
I’m running
I run / run / run
out of here
right // out

I’m out of here

The novel, Under the Wide and Starry Sky by Nancy Horan she takes us through the life of Robert Louis Stevenson.  Using her writing from page 162 I offer the following word play using the first letters in my blog name, Shadowleaves!  Trying my hand at Mesometerics, which is a word frame using other’s writing to construct an overlay of words and meaning.

I walk into my day
with unbridled hands
unhurried rush

silver day
tears pouring down
growing old

waiting still
for the day’s forward take
one step at a time

Sounds float high
Off the waters below
Fishing boats float by
Catching ripples
In the morning light

Blackest of black
A Raven flew by
My heart’s dwelling cove

I wander this day
These many Ozark hills
Searching for simple joy
Freedom

The many shades of spring green

covering the newly filled trees

up on the Ozark mountain ridge

Blue meets green

as blue sky light

Bends over my sky dome horizon

Changing colors like a rainbow

The many springtime shades of green

Cover the newly filled trees up on the Ozark ridge ~

Blue sky light bends over the horizon

Meeting new greens
