Turquoise New Waters

Suddenly fresh turquoise rivers burst into sight

Shattering concrete-coloured walls of ancient cement

The sediment flying off into multicoloured universes made of intent

And now over there on the deep blue sea’s horizon

A broken off piece floats, ship abandoned

Bobbing symbol of the old dusty orange desert my feet used to stand in

For these stormy streams move up new forest green mountains

Creating rich soil for the soul tree fountains to reach taller

Pulling me into a new order of understanding

That I might grow without boarders

And yes

A disapproving glance may be given for not choosing the well trodden stable and 'flawless'

But tomorrow’s accepted step forward was yesterday’s lawless

And recklessly dull, rainbow grey and aweless

Life would be without welcoming these fresh turquoise new waters.
