Roses In Morning Sun
By Kevy Michaels
Quiet footsteps
Crushing stems, leaves
And acorns
Attention crushed too
Sound is overshadowed
By my Intention
In a rare zone
Where neither empty nor full
Thankful for the new day
As it is
Overwhelming all other thoughts
Before they are imagined into existence
Sun’s reigning supreme
In the freshness of morning solitude
Beauty surrounds me
All surrenders to Light
Flowers are smiling
It is obvious
By how they pose for passers-by
Trees bow in exquisite Grace
Branches nearly touching the ground
Captivated by Roses for a moment
Red, white and pink
Adorning the park’s Colonial garden
Bringing tears of joy
…And grief to my eyes
My mother joins me
But as an angel
As I reflect on how my Eunice
Loved her roses
She would start new bushes from stems
And years later brag
On ‘raising’ them from a twig.
I raised new roses for her
When she could no longer
Planting them around her home
So that she could discover new ones
As she stood with her walker in delight
…Peeping on the side of her
Historic gallery home
The moment of tears
Then quickly leave
Eunice returns to paradise
New Joyous visions create new smiles
…And encouraging looks to the sky,
…Invites the presence of many angels
Who lead me to a matrix
Of Pansies and Petunias
In Orange, Lemon, and Blue Frost
Surrounded by Pigeon Purple Cabbage
Such decorative garden trimmings
Conspiring to lift me even higher
And it worked
Then to a mound of Lavender
With brilliant flower blossoms
Vibrant like fireworks!
Exciting a swarm of bees
Who suspend themselves as graceful as ballerinas
…The bees are truly Grateful in deed
…Just as I am
To savor in such brief moments
Of Joy
30 DEGREE SUNSHINE
By Kevy Michaels
All by myself
Strolling on top of the world
God decided to shine a spotlight
On my exalted existence
My life is Surreal
….Awakened to Joyous living
Surrounded by nature’s 3D beauty
And even from thousands of feet
Above the valley
I am firmly grounded
Blanketed in 30 degree
Colorado Sunshine
…Smiling inside
Because I am grateful
That God guided me
This close to heaven
