In the backyard near the mosses, electric blue wrens. The blackbird singing away. A myriad of stars in this sky with subtle humour Tingling away with mischief, Changing hue every now and then. Sun toughened lovers, Walking hand in hand Fade away into the darkness Collapse in the middle of nowhere. Lost, With their voices echoing from under cedar covers. Waves dancing under the crimson sky. Transformations hiding its alibi They're floating on the blue vitriol of early February Northwest autums turns to winter The snowflakes melt in the presence of the heat. I'm still finding the chameleon, And the lovers who disappeared last night. I'm still lost in the shades of blue An electric energy reaches out to paradise. My thoughts circling around, Rings of ancient wisdom. Motionless, With my feet touching the ocean floor And my eyes remain beneath the pall. Watching the vultures , With my fingers numb And the smile on my face, As steady as the thunder And rain pouring down And my heart lost Lying somewhere, Along with the ashes of the dead bird Singing away, In a place Where I'm yet to be born.
