And the warm rays it bears,
Upon our faces
Through the years.
We few can feel
The flow of acid through our hearts,
Of the clouds shedding rain,
Of the frowns behind the smiles -
The poison dripping clear
Through the bubble secluding us -
Forcing us into a frame of mind.
Like an iron it unwrinkles.
Problems -
Only to be unraveled again.
It's in the uncomfort
Of a churning stomach
As it is twisted like
The ancient vines around an oak.
Oh, how seemingly beautiful
In the choking grip
Of the writhing stalk
Behind the flowers,
Suffocating the bark.
The sun it burns as it shines -
Leaving scars untold.
Where only darkness lurks
Behind locked doors.
A smile swim.
Only when it feels compelled
To surface and breathe
Will it flip its fin.
It warms his coat.
The grass - it waves,
A breeze does float.
The lion lays
In Africa's brown seas.
Can you see his grin
And his heart at peace?
Learn through your soul:
It brings joy and
Satisfaction
With advancement.
healing tears
As they tap nourishingly
upon my hand.
Oh - what wonderful colors
As he smiles in pastels
Over his land.
This is the rain
That poured overhead
The forests' trees
And shifting sand.
