a world of opposites



a world of opposites
a world of opposites surround me round
return to me a single echo of silent sound
a voice unheard, loud and strong
reverberates, vibrates, hums along
the walls of contrast reflect the light
a prism of colors: blind eyes delight
a single hue, from every face
lost then found, chromatic trace
barriers of belief block the way
hindering the path on which I stay
anchored fast to unbelief
frozen stand in endless grief
loveless lovers fill the void
unloved hearts once destroyed
unsung love songs fill the air
some who love but do not care
potent portent future found
past is passed in days unwound
ones forgotten, ones foretold
remembered memories, lies untold
buried treasure, costless find
wealth unmeasured, paupers mined
priceless objects priced to sell
fortune spent on pyrite’s spell

Winter's Way

Winter's Way Snow swirls and settles softly, down. Frozen ponds and pine trees are painted white. Winter wind whirls, swirls and twirls in circles, up and down, in and out. Drifting snow piles high here and there. Snow birds flitter, flutter and forage,  then, hurry to their roosts to nestle. Bright moon shines and the ice reflects it's beams between snowflakes and flurries. December's icy blanket covers field and hills. Blustery nights turn into biting cold days. Frosted roads crunch beneath sleighs led by huffing, puffing mares.  Mufflers, mittens or gloves cover frigid hands. Earmuffs, overcoats, and scarves stave off shivers. Snowbound sledders find space  to steer down slippery slopes. Firewood crackles in the fireplace. Snuggled beneath fleece throws, we counter polar storms and ice-kissed frigid gales. Jack Frost's season overwhelms  and overblows with solstice ice-flowers. © 2013 ajwrites57 A Lon...

and love

and love and love happens like lightning striking in a moment, in a day, in a glance. and love changes like dawn breaks, imperceptibly from dark to light. and love surrounds like morning mist, rising from nowhere until it envelopes. and love grows from pain to hunger gnawing from the belly and the mind. and love is desperate like addiction overriding every other appetite. and love creates a world like a dream where days are lived in slow motion. and love empowers like confident faith emboldening to overcome obstacles. and love lasts like the ocean waves' ebbs and flows, forever. © 2014 ajwrites57 A Long ❤ ❤ ❤ Image:  By elayne001 via pixabay
