Peace illuminates from within

River's silvery song in harmony
with papery cottonwood leaves
rustling in the breeze
birds add their jubilant voices
nature's concert~sublime

My inner Universe~mostly a quiet restful place
yet now and then  a cosmic storm blows through
swirling ~unsettling~leaving me restless~on edge
I close my eyes~imagining a star shining bright
at the edge of the external universe we all share
bringing it back to me~basking in the calming light
restoring order~realigning my inner planets
allowing me once again to view my world
with hope and peace despite the turmoil 
of the times we live in each and every day
knowing I must maintain peace within 
thus allowing the beauty of our world to find it's 
way to my inner space~bringing with it joy

Black and Blue Salvia
~
Opening in the warm October sun
they reach out craning their necks
blossoms open like brilliant blue flamingo
yet from another angle how different they appear
heads modestly nodding ~sporting delicate beaks
their bodies made of feather like translucent petals
one almost expects them to become animated
take flight ~soaring high into the blue sky above
yet here they stay~ earthbound~delighting our eyes

Had Rapunzel been a Scottish Lass
letting down her thick red hair
what would her name have been?
Fanciful thoughts I know about a vine
but for some reason when the sun
illuminated those thick strands
spilling down~this came to mind
it was written once in my report card
Evi has a most vivid imagination!!!
Well what do you expect from a child
raised on wondrous fairy tales but strange
flights of fancy over the most ordinary things

Way up there~glowing in the autumn sun
Eucalyptus opens first flowers
trees from down under flaunt
upside down sea anemones
coral cups unfurl delicate tentacles
reaching out in a bright blue sea of sky
filled with thick sweet nectar
ready to slake hummingbird's hunger
so welcome in this cooler season
when the rest of nature goes to sleep
