A Blanket Of Clay

Lifting of depression

Violet blue waters

Against the greenist trees

Cares float in the clouds

Looking over the scene

 

Bluist sky filled

With freedom's breeze

Cares gone_now unseen

A frame to take and freeze

 

Stop and touch smooth driftwood

Sit on its body reminisce

Lean on its strong arm_strength miss

See birds enjoy this lovely perch

 

Remanents of yesterday's lunch

Fertilizer to wash away

Nutrition for seaweed another day

Birds of feather flock this way

 

This scene has lifted

A blanket of clay

Now there is joy

For the rest of the day

Lifting of depressed feelings

Reviews

[An owl on the moon]

I can sense the heaviness lifting as your words bring forth the beauty of the world all around you. It is one of the greatest needs of the modern world to reconnect with the creation... and once more find peace. Wonderfully expressed.

[Desert Dreamer]

Nature can bring back our joy and "wash away" our sadness. Beautiful.
