A Beautiful Day

the fields are empty now
the grains have been harvested
the clouds drift and stay a while
on the side of the green mountain
still dressed with mists and fog
the trees line the path
the leaves are green and lush
i take as usual this morning walk
towards a hut beside a graveled path

a white heron arrives and lands
on a drying pond
the sun just shines to mark a
beautiful day
the pale horizon turns pastel blue

Travellers gallery

Travellers gallery
~
welcome to the travellers gallery
the windows frame a world
from water coloured rivers
to pastel forests and fields
sketched out towns spread out
between charcoal cities
nameless people, faces
all passing in a hurry
the travellers gallery presents
a life in motion exhibition
all in natural hue colour
by bus, train or car
the landscape and portraits
become ingrained in memory
welcome to the travellers gallery

Green Delight

Green Delight

The green pastime
pastures sweet and tame
up in smoke today
sticky small green leaves
let me bit you up
we'll hit the streets
and fly like kites
colours soft and blue
pastel gel
me and you
go well together
lamb and shine
we melt ice and time
shelter me
peaceful green delight
you grow to please me
tease me
release me

Easter

Easter.
Bunnies and colored eggs.
Pastel shades,
And folks dressed for church.
Commemorating,
The resurrection of Jesus.
After his crucifixion.

Although this is not Christmas,
Also celebrated by christians.
It is on the Sunday...
Following the full moon next
After the vernal equinox,
Welcomes Spring to bloom at its best.

Falling between March 22nd,
And April 25th.
'Eastre' that Spring Goddess...
Brings a sense of joy,
And merriment with it!

Cherry Blossoms Adrift

Pink petals passing
Scents above so high
Painted porcelain perfection
Blossoms caress the sky

Swaying silent shroud
Suitors strolling by
Pink petals passing
Lover's gentle sigh

Pastel hues falling
Slow fluttering grace
Pink petals passing
Lining streams in lace

Pink petals passing
Smoothest transit by
Soft essence floating
In most subtle lullaby

Prism of Winter

The sun begins to slowly rise
Into the soft pastel colors of morning

A beautiful sunrise starts a story of winter
Beginning with the sun spreading it's rays of light

The snow is starting to fall in the light of the sun
Falling as light as soft white feathers

Spreading through the bright glow from the sun
An enormous arch spreads through the sky with many colors

This colorful arch adds a beautiful scene to the sky
A rainbow called the Prism of Winter

Bite

BITE.
Maybe sharks glide in
the beatific blue sheet sea.
Unpredictable.
I clamber over saw-toothed
limestone, by crumbling cliffs.

RIVERBANK.
Soft skin flakes hang from twisted paperbarks over clear water.
Silt puffs and billows as circling writhing eels resolve into
a dark ray's fluted rims and a pale crab scoots to flimsy weed.

PASTEL.
Leaves, a far green haze,
aspiring flowering gums.
Sky-scaling Karris.
Peeling trunks reveal tints or
yellow, peach, brown and shell pink.

Entranced for Grandaughter Chitra

I saw two rainbows intertwine
their colours were identical.
Together forming a design
which I found doubly beautiful.
I’ve often seen a single bow
they’re not at all unusual.
A band of pastel colours show
delicately ethereal.
But never had I seen before
two rainbow arches in the sky
Two matching bands of colours soar
across the sky majestically.
I stood entranced by what I saw.
What philistine could ask for more.

If Love has Touched your Heart

it is this moment of my fingers
lovingly connected to each other
forming my hands
and clasping
in thanksgiving

there they lay as one family
beside the kingdom of my heart

so touched by love
as the greatest song with piano key still playing our song
of trust

ecstasy still bursting beside my chest
the world changes from orange to purple to pink
from pastel to something brighter than red

flames of love still burning
self unconsumed at the center of this global fire

Too Blooming true for M'Lady lucianne

The regal tulips proud display
will all too quickly pass away.
Their seed is set their task is done
and they depart their time has gone.
Though we enjoy their beauty show.
Their pastel colour softly glow
in multicoloured tints and hues.
A favourite colour hard to choose.
So hard in fact I do not try,
each one is pleasing to my eye
Although it’s sad to see them die
their place will soon be taken by.
Another floral beauty show
which reigns until it’s time to go.
