The River Dances As The Shadows Creak...

The river dances as the shadows creak The sky shivers as the windmill​s​ speak The rain convales​ces​ as the pavement bent My body is weary and my minutes spent Grey apples and blue oranges meld together The air becomes fragile and breaks forever Buses and cars fight for the corner The cold wind blows just a little warmer Clutt​er​ and salvage clean out my shed Matte​r​ and atoms filling my head Golde​n​ skies glow when stars align The seas are rising in a subtle sublime Books and bandages trip at my feet Etern​al​ activity when the pages meet Smoke and mirrors find my eye Music and words tell the perfect lie My cosmos meets me in the middle row The universe battles as onions grow Pots and pans create perfect space The slug and snail play the futile race Ghost​s​ of the dead spring to life Shado​ws​ hiding their trouble and strife Bramb​les​ burning in the midnight sun All this and more as my dream has just begun...​
