HOPE
Rising due east
Amber calorie-free peeks through
an alluring prism
persuading morn dew to give upward …
Waving a white flag similar a ribbon inward the sky.
Today is the dawn of
a novel beginning, a novel season.
It’s the firstly calendar week of leap but,
Intervals of greyness skies c l o a k
the Capitol City & play Hide n try alongside the sun,
masking our celebration of syncopated
‘Easter on Parade’ fun.
Yet, Hope awakens, dancing skip to my lou,
Twirling loop-de-loop,
Twisting hula hoops.
Spring, you're my Muse …
I only desire to induce got it all in
And B O O M,
bloom alongside you lot …
Refreshed,
Renewed.
There’s a surely je ne sais quoi that
Nurtures my soul.
Delights me, serendipity caresses me.
Your unloose energy invigorates me
with an aura which lures me into this
spring equinox ---
like an eclipse teetering on its axis
radiating into
An unknown abyss.
The enchantment seduces me into this
Fixation on budding irises undeterred
To PoPUp similar a Jack-in-the-Box
six weeks earlier Mother’s Day.
But, I am intrigued by
your mystery,
your mastery,
your mystifying light-green eyes that shine
like drinking glass marbles reflecting the light
of a mirror that hypnotizes my soul.
I can't aid but gaze in addition to stare and
wonder what is beyond cotton-candy hyacinths
blossoming.
