Bright And Beautiful
by Richard PaezI can tell its summer
By how quick the days go by
I close my eyes
Breathe deeply
Another dreaming day awakens
And when I close my eyes
I can hear you singing
Loud and strong
Like the Bright and Beautiful
End of the World
Bruised, time-lapse clouds
Enter and leave my sky
Rolling and breaking
Like waves in a memory
Like dreams we havent dreamed yet
Our future I remember only dimly
But the flowers of our past
You hold today as seeds.
They will bloom again
After winter passes
And the world is born again
Bright and beautiful
I can tell its summer
By how quick the days go by
I close my eyes
Breathe deeply

| Posted by Teri T Lahmon on 09/04/03 at 12:11 PM Beautifully written, after I read it, I automatically closed my eyes and took a deep breath, it was like my mind wanted to share the experience of the poem. Interesting paradox in the third stanza. Thank you for sharing. |
