Finding Yourself in a Sunset
Looking to the sky for answers
You chased the sunset
Looking to the sky for answers
What made you think there were any?
Questions stand still in time.
You sat and watched
The sun freshly squeezed before your eyes
Dazzling yellows burning like ancient ochre
A Bengal tiger, russets of clementine, warm cinnamon
Surrounded by a sea of dusky pinks dancing like rosebuds
Sweet lavender swaying into the clouds
Scarlet sin rosier than a lover’s secret
Ra revealed himself, herself
Innocent in their beauty
Hot and fierce to the touch
You found yourself inside the rainbow sunset
Every emotion burned into the horizon
Melting to become one.

After the Storm
After the storm of winter snow there sat a small bear by the name Ted, of course. He loves the snow and likes to roll around in it making all sorts of trails and whatever he has a mind to do. He wondered where all the people are, but in a way, he is hoping that they are all snug in the homes maybe drinking hot chocolate-one of his favorite drinks with mini-marshmallows and eating something homemade for he likes this winter wonderland all to himself to romp and play and maybe even catch some fish down by the river.
