Friendship dies

       When

Expectations rise
Cyaneous heaven of cascades
Segued into turquoise
Besieged by smaragdine forests


Pearly clouds strewn in silver sky
Opalescent fish scales glinted
as radiant honey topaz sun winked


Emerald reeds swayed
Ruby chrysanthemum blooms
Dotted with violescent bellflowers

Perceptions
💎
each morning I get up
and swim in the ocean of your love
your salt soaks into my every pore
and awakens me
to what is real

this daily swim strengthens my muscles
especially my heart
and the deeper I dive into you
the stronger I get

the poetry of your being
surrounds me
and this immersion buoys me
to breath in freshness
and make me alive
Sound blossoms in every room
The air conditioner, then a rain monsoon
The moving of a chair, a rustle in a drawer
Distraction touches me, hard to ignore
Small beads on the bottom
Of a wooden jewelry box
The one with lacquered birds
The broken necklace
Your father’s gift
The beads live in the corners
Because we treasure people
What do I see after
The dream is done
Either the still night
Or the morning sun

What do I want
From my daily life
A happy partner
To be a good wife

What do I wish
For the sky above
A clean earth vision
Built with love

What do I need
For the children I teach
To be a priority
Not a dream out of reach

What can I do
For the world so cruel
Write congress letters
Not elect fools

What is the reason
For humanity
To honor each other
Plant a new seed
A poem pretty close after the shut down due to the virus.
