This Day

This Day

I have seen this day before
And foolishly have walked on by
Too full of me
My meager ways
Obscured from sight by
Molehills risen as mountains,
Such self-creations
These clouds brewed within,
While missing the mare’s tails that scud above
As they gloriously steamship by.

I stumbled-on too frequently,
  eyes down
  half closed
  half blind.

This day starts like any other
In its thousand different ways
Though this one has made a modest point
To call unassuming attention to itself.

Ands so as if to say,
She spoke to me:
You found the woes of winter such
That I have brought in sweet bouquet
And sumptuous songs of sparrow-speak
These dewy jewels on verdant grass
And zephyrs bearing blossom showers
Redolent reminders of such beauty here
Yours but for a bended knee
And a softly listening ear…

These whispers roared and beckoned so
Compelling and seducing me
That I have left the world behind
The one that weights the spirit down
And found my way
A barefoot boy
To wander in the garden green
And there to grow my very soul.

Whipped in a Thunderstorm

Fluffed up with a fork,
She teased?
Huh?
More like whipped in a thunderstorm,
He replied.
...

There was a fierceness in him.
Not in his voice,
That was but a dry whisper,
But in his eyes.
His spirit was worn
And in tatters,
Save for the nuclei
Found burning behind them.
Faded blue with streaks of indigo
But furious, feral
Almost reptilian in their life force
Resistant
Insistent.

She probed him a bit,
And found herself compelled by him.
And though she saw him vulnerable
When put against her strength, 
She knew that an almost unbreakable
Alliance had been born.
