WAR POEM by Bonnie Bruton Horton
I explore uncharted dimensions That pique my interest and expand my soul To grasp all that is available to me. Birdsong and soft, warm breezes Envelope me as I freefall Through the downy clouds To find myself resting against a tree. Tough, brown trunk roots me to earth Even as the lacy green canopy Filters particles of sunlight To shade me gently. Patterns of light and shadow Invade my drowsy consciousness Forming a puzzling mosaic To expand my awareness. The universe in sync with itself And me, and you, and you, and you Encompasses, enfolds, enlightens all To make us unimaginably connected. |
