the day is short
and long
when the sun
seems to
stand still


blink and you’ll
notice a sky
painted in rose
mocha and
gainsboro


the life of a
honey bee is
lengthened by
achromatic
images


stand aside and
smile while
a ****** buzz
attracts you
to life


beyond the pale
insides
of belief lies
the outside
atmosphere


what is short
in the sky
becomes length
in life
and love
