A Cool Wind

A Cool Wind

A Poem by Travis Lawrence

A cool wind may be short,

stormy showers,

or only the tall gray

clouds and shade, but this late-

Spring soothing swiftly licks

my May white skin too

soft and cool for warmth

in this light blue Kansas weather.

 

So small in sunbeams

from solar edges,

we have no reasons,

only bonding existence,

but we are, and we do,

enough to make creation

an excuse enough to live,

even if most artists are ungrateful.

 

Splash an ore like blue dot

on black canvass, open space

scattered by starry light and physics

in celestial form

surrounds our own

and we should be amazed,

a continuous state of awe

full wonder and aurora veneration.

 

I glide on ease

and peace under quiet trees,

fortune, with golden symptoms

of blushing conversation,

pleased by the angst

too fervently, I look and see

these human sights through burning human eyes,

born to exist with fevers like this.

the creative force is such a compelling velvet lover edged in unexpected thorns~what an exquisite~sensate rendering of the natural movement of deep~lush life moments so many miss~ gorgeous~

....And such beauty does surround us.
Some great lines here: Spring soothing swiftly licks

my May white skin too

soft and cool for warmth
an excuse enough to live,
I glide on ease

and peace under quiet trees,

fortune, with golden symptoms

of blushing conversation,

even if most artists are ungrateful.
Your words create a painting of images.

this wind has been transcendental. Kant said - presupposed in and necessary to experience; a priori. LoSo small in sunbeams

from solar edges,---- nice alliteration. also here: Spring soothing swiftly licks
Loved this.
