Canopy

Foggy,
rainy morning.
Cloudy afternoon.
Fresh pineapple.
Had a visitor.
A Charlatan.
Another Pompous
Imposter.  
The world is overrun.
And, sick to my stomach.
I type these words.
Remembering
the sweet sound
of songbirds
high in the trees.
As I walk
between drab
buildings.
The joyful ballads
float down from the Canopy
to caress my Soul.  
Sparkling Spirits.
Ignite my heart.
Ignite my hope 
for one brief moment. 
The vignette of
those unseen birds
high above,
with their
ethereal
echoes,
will remain
With me.
A gift
From the
Universe.

  1. I feel this, as i read it over as d over again. It's beautiful and so very sad. My sister is a poet, like those birds high up in the trees, she speaks her truth in beauty
