Confirmation

The sun crept slowly over the hills

golden light flooded the earth

and drowned the wicked darkness

that once consumed the restless world

to ease its spiteful reign

with a kiss of eternal goodness

from the canyons high almighty king.

Perfume

Mountain air is sweetest

when the winter winds blow

and the crisp pine scents fill the air

with a sweet aroma of cloves.

Wish

I touched a star

up in the sky,

but the star stayed where it was at

I made a wish

upon the star,

but it did not heed my dreams,

so I let the star fly quickly away

to its celestial destination

somewhere in the darkness.

The comedian

His brow furrowed

and his eyes set

his hair well combed

but all a mess.

He stands amid a serious world

in his own spotlight

in which he dwells,

swarming around him

the crowds do fly

like the buzzing of bees

in a swollen hive.

He perfects his stance

in a careless fashion

alone on his feet

but accompanied by laughter.
