The Color of Day
Stu Harley Sep 2014
Light pausing
So ambient and
Translucent
Shining through
Her soft pastel
Colored clothes
Flapping in
The gallant wind
Draping over
The supple
Clothes line
The canvas painting
Waiting there
With artistic hands of
Pablo Picasso
Paintbrush stirring
A kaleidoscope of colors
Honeydew melon orange
Egg shell white
Watermelon red
Baby powder blue
Olive green
So breath taking
The color of day

Words Give and Recieve
Stu Harley Jul 2013
Yes, words are the magic elixir
Embracing the soul,
And words turn objects into gold

Do words beat like the wings of
A restless hummingbird,
While men plot
With sharp draggers
To capture it

Words teach us valuable lessons,
Because words know how
To give and receive

Words live through every hurt,
Through every pain,
Because, they
Have no self-conscious fear
Of flight

Do words know how
To give and receive

The answer is always yes

thank God, each and every day,
for
blessing me with my precious life,
because
hope is alive, and
i
am willing to pray
