As I Settle In

As I Settle In

The sun sets as I settle in, at my desk, to set words to paper.
A warm, gentle, summer breeze gently brushes my face.
I gaze out at the azure, magenta, pink, and yellow sunset.
Gently swaying tree branches are silhouettes against the evening sky.
Letters gather, congregate and gleefully set themselves onto the page.

The first stars twinkle into view as my hand caresses words on the paper.
I breathe the words and lines which appear, as music carries me along.
The soft violin serenades my ears and moves my heart with it.
Images pulse within my brain like a soothing, gentle massage.
Ideas flow through my pen, float and flutter onto the page.

Soft white clouds disappear as dusk slowly pushes lower, toward nightfall.
My nose fills with the fragrant bouquet of the fruit of the grape.
My tongue welcomes the delicious liquid as is passes over my palate.
Senses are heightened and stimulated, as the moon smiles down on me.
Phrases, metaphors, similes saunter coyly onto the page.

The metallic white moon hovers, drifts high in the sky.
Stars appear on the black canvas of the nighttime perfect painting.
The pen flows fluidly forward on the page, posing poetic questions.
My eyes focus fully on the images that rise humbly from the page.
A poem emerges, pleasing, probing, and appealing to the reader’s memory.

old friends

old friends searched online for former friends surprised to see untimely ends friends, their spouses, moms and dads sad to see the deaths they had the inexorable tick and tock of time, leads us all to fields, sublime through twisting, turning hands of fate, soon we'll all be known as "late" years roll on, time is passed no one knows how long it lasts each life is counted out by days as friends we oft go separate ways friend's faces show the lines of age as each one turns his separate page fools fleeting time waits for no man eighty years our lives may span so count your days with special care for who knows how, who knows where our beating hearts will one day stop find old friends before they drop © 2014 ajwrites57 A Long ❤ ❤ ❤ Image adapted:  By SDRandCo via morguefile.com

Life Without Color

Someone asked, "What would your life be without color?"  I answered,  "My life would be pallid and pale without color.  Each day would be drab, dreary and dismal.  There'd be no primary colors, no rainbows,  no yellow sunshine, no red-blue-yellow sunsets  and no white clouds. No white snow or black storm clouds.  I'd walk in an indistinct and neutral existence.  No green  trees, no green  grass, no blue seas, no blue skies,  would leave me cheerless and dry. My face would not turn red  with anger or embarrassment. My face would not turn white  with fear or pain. I'd not grow green with envy.  Nothing would be just black and white.  My life would be full of motionless emotion,  if there were no color. © 2013 ajwrites57 Image URI:  http://mrg.bz/fwDYZp Image URI:  http://mrg.bz/g6haeq By  Hairysuncold Please find my other writings on Hub...
