The Warm Meadow

A poem

Image by Author

Is all around us
Shining green
Milling
Among
Mounds of rich fruit enclaves
Mini hills
Of yellow ash
Carpet mist

The warm meadow
Is within you
Yet you toil
With challenges
Igniting blue sky madness
As you push against
The fate
Of grey missions
That aim to help you
The alternative
Path of hope

The warm meadow
A light feather
Minimal force
A holding
To remind you
That in contemporary life
Exhale
Wondrous moments
Open
Rejoiceful
The litmus paper burns
A scent of revolution
The smells of life
Come alive
And live adventure
