HALO

The large windows carved out of the white walls embrace the thin twigs dangling to peep in,

The gentle ruffling of curtains to the whispering breeze welcomes floating tweets of morning birds flapping to a leaf rustling in the warmth of its companion,

 Night lamps disappear in the creaking dawn birthing dreamy shadows to follow scripted pathways

A pound of crushed ginger promises to distill the morning saliva,

The vocal chords drink the clarity of the ordinance for the day, subject to calculated changes in perceptions

Weaving a carousel of events around the varying notes of a bamboo flute in a motley crowd chirping chorus

The shadows would soon unite with melanin sheaths, decoding lone possessions

Embraced in silent murmurings when twilight would bloom crimson glory on a blue canvass and

Soft foamy billows would cradle rainbows in my dreams and reflections.


Form for All: Prose/Poetry Thank you Sam for igniting the forum with some wonderful prompts for thoughts.

  1. distilling the morning saliva.... I recall a time when it was precious and I wondered if it would ever return... how precious are things we take for granted.

  2. I enjoyed the musicality of this piece of prose, making it (also) a poem for sure.
