Not so Bright

Earthtones

By Teresa Miles Published 5 years ago 1 min read

Brown down on the ground

I’m grounded by earth’s bounded

Gravity surrounds it

Holding down the wind

Of the blue mist

That kissed the green grasses

Lips then leaves

fall from

Trees yellow bees

Squeeze golden

Sweet honey

Ummm yummy!

It’s so funny how green could

Mean so many things when

A royal queen can produce

A healthy meal that heals

The soul of a ruby red rose or a black

Mask posed on a white canvas.

Behold! The master of disquise

not I

No one could see

black inside

was not dark

But, bright

like blinding light

That makes you smile

For a long while

Embrace the space

In that place you feel

Safe and Clear waters

wash tan sands

Mysteriously leaving

Purple residue that grows

Into a violet picked by orange

Flames of passion.
