What are you
Thinking about
As you aimlessly stir
Your coffee around
It's getting cold
You haven't taken
A sip
Pouring cream
Hoping for a
Reflection of
Your thoughts
After wincing
And a heavy sigh
You add sugar
To sweeten the
Bitterness
Of today
Orange petals in a rainstorm,
Are a lovely sight to see;
When the rain nears the blossoms,
Some of the orange blossoms flee.

Orange petals in a rainstorm,
Lose some of their sweet perfume;
When the rainstorm is over,
The sweet fragrance will resume.

Orane petals in a rainstorm,
When they come down with the rain
Won't be in freezing weather,
And won't stick to window panes.

Orange petals in a rainstorm,
Unlike snowflakes have have one form.

Slowly I rocked
Without making a sound
   . ..Back and Forth
   .............Back and Forth
Thinking of
  ..TODAY
Thinking of
      TOMORROW
The rhythm has
Stopped
So have my
Thoughts
Oil on the water

Gentle spilling colours

Tumbled greens and inky blues

Fade to yellow and pinky hues

Filling the puddle

A requiem for rainbows
Even rainbows have to die sometime

Warm thanks
Fly through
The air
Hoping to spread
Love
Not disease
Mary Anne Norton Nov 2020
The moon in the sky
Looked grey
Yet bright enough
To shine
Through the peaks
In my blinds
And bold enough
To wink
Goodnight
To me
