maelstroms in our lives
create a space for some to
show their true colors
others get caught up in things
and spiral into the deep

telltale winds
warm summer winds
gently rustle the grass
while whispering secrets
their journeys accrue
and now having passed
over us in the grass
I know that tomorrow
they’ll tell on us too

calm before the storm
in the calm
before the storm
we peek out from
where we dwell
and we pray
to god above
that the coming
storm he quell
yet our efforts
are in vain
for as far as
I can tell
he always
counts to ten
just before he
gives us hell
six word stories — 4
Miraculously, it was Pajama Day. Whew!

blinded by the light
the sun lights our world
yet would hide the entire
universe from us
it takes the blackest of nights
to truly see where we are
a summer day with you
at dawn we watched the sunrise
splashing colors on the day
and when we got too hot
we swam the afternoon away
at dusk we danced in meadows
flecked with flashing fireflies
while zephyrs whispered secrets
under hazy azure skies
at night we told tall tales
as we sat beneath the stars
you were the goddess venus
and I the man from mars

the shows are dazzling
with all-star casts each night on
the galactic plane
