Friday Writings #35: Hope

raindrops lingering
tiny pearls sparkle the leaves
holding rainbow light

and when tomorrow
sunlight pierces through azure
arms outstretch to dance

welcome puffy clouds
yours is the gift of mapping

[Pink Poui, Queens Park Savannah, Trinidad from google dot com]


Like a woman who don's a shabby dress. You pass to, you pass fro. She's there. You go about your business. You pass by absorbed in the steady stream of traffic. You hear the noise in the heads, of commuters: TV talk, another terrorist hit...more tears...more strife...the world a global village in pain...peak hour...stuck in traffic ...you would think wide streets were made to offer speedy transport...with all its shoulders and middles and lanes. Then one day, with thoughts of a Holy Week, and Easter. She comes alive she strikes her lively poise.
Ah! the Poui -
shades of her Japanese sisters
the pink Sakura

where candles flicker
shock and horror visited -
hearts weep for lost ones

fifteen years ago
the face of history changed -
World Trade center bombed

mornings reoccur -
peace questions the wildflowers
striving without care

were something like this
to grow in my garden
it would
hold my attention
for hours on end

for hours on end
undecided about stars
dark side of the moon

dark side of the moon
a breeze stirs shadows in hope
of tomorrow

tomorrow pierced by sun rays
entering bird songs clear as
the gurgling of a brook
where lads pitch pebbles

One Night

one night I searched for a star
what I found was a full moon
now my every day is
full of shooting stars

her nude silhouette arouses me
I smell her fragile perfume
