Lift your head to the skies, oh dear

There was something beautiful in it

Wasn't there?

When a drop of rain hit

Fell on you, oh dear

seemingly

Out of nowhere

And you lifted your head

Up to the skies

Twisted and turned your neck,

Where your eyes lead

And searched

As if you could find precisely

Where the sky had opened up

And leaked such a tiny needle of water

From that expanse of depth and blue and matter

Something beautiful in it dear

If only I could find it

And put it

Into words

If only I could find you

And bring you back into this world

Where you can once again lift your eyes

To the sky

And search this expanse of depth, blue and matter

Once again.

A Moment of Paradise

A delicate breeze

Whispers softly past,

Wind chimes jingle

From far away

This peaceful feeling

Ought to last;

Beneath a tree

I'd like to stay

Why can't there

Be more moments

Like this paradise

On a summer day?

discredit beauty

if it is blocking the view of your garden

that dandelion is killing your daisies

so pick it from the ground

put yellow petals in a plastic bag

and cut the green thorns from your roses

you forgot to notice

how beautiful the color red was

when it was slipping from your shadows

i guess it was interfearing with your future

fiddling with your vines

molding over your apricots

finding all things mine

but the red made something beautiful afterall,

it's stained onto my skin

leaving scars

some are shaped like hearts

they are not the serious shade of red

they're silky and soft pink

surviving with serenity

don't discredit beauty

let the dandelion grow

Linden!

Linden!  Linden!  Enduring magnetism. Like a ship in the night, sailing into the   moonlight. I am drawn to your whisper. The elixir of life. The days grow long. The sun is high, and temperatures rise. The trace beneath my feet causes me to wince, to cringe. I exhale to repel the urban stench. Our meeting is timely, however fleeting. When we are apart, your essence dwells in my heart. Your gift of fragrance floats gently by, like a feather falling. Raptured into your presence, I seek your physicality. Scanning the landscape of the urban jungle, I espy your tall symmetrical canopy amongst the monolithic superstructures. From you dear Linden, the elixir of life envelops me completely, even if for a moment. Linden! Oh my dear Linden! Until we meet again!

In this once barren field, we created a home; it flourished and buzzed with life. Fecund, it grew heavy with fruit; lush canopies adorned the cloudless skies. To feel the soil beneath our feet and in our hands; returning to our roots, it brought us together; here, we a built a community for the people, the plants, the animals; we welcomed the celebration of new beginnings and the restoration of our hearts and bodies. Our paradise in the urban jungle.
