Just Listen
It's so quiet here.
Oranges and coconuts
Hung over the trail that led to the sand
My heart danced to the humming of the crickets
They cry out in a different cadence than the crickets in Savannah.
The taps of the rain hit my finger and I taste the tears of each cloud
A story
Covered in red and yellow water colors
Meshed with blues
Peace filled jars that smell like fresh peaches
Peppercorn over greens
I drew the butterflies that I saw while I was laying in the pool
They were yellow and black
Stripes
They started out together
Went up real high
And separated
Two different ways
I admired their independence
They weren't afraid to go off on their own
Drifting
Floating
And closing my eyes to see
the rhythm of the crickets in the night
I have not loved yet
And tomorrow I will
Ask
Why
Where
When
Will I stand by the ocean and watch the manatees with my lover
I will ask
But I already know the answer.
In that golden ball of light
I laid for three hours
And a dragon fly landed on my shoulder
The ship is coming in
Tomorrow I will meet my captain
We'll sail off into that golden ball of light
No words
And yet
I will be listening
