Shades of Green....by Invictus

62

By I*n*v*i*c*t*u*s

Listen and Read

Shades of Green

As I lay and listen

Many surround

You are near, not so far

My dream is gently unwound

As a blade of grass in a gale

My heart is riveting with your presence

Time is still

Only a few see

Through this encroaching light

A whisper

A smile

A giggle

A knowing

Wthin this space we are grounded, yet rise

Twas here I reclaimed light

A plan in the brewing

To live as I sought

Must play

Dance

Be

Ever in this thought

Heal the broken window beneath me

Your eyes

Pale, yet supple skin

Prep boy hair, brown and thick

Reminds me of beautiful times

Young and furious

Connecting our beliefs

Raining fires of life beyond uncertainty

Many years have past, after searching

Having felt that certain shade of Green

We were provided food of those we did not hire

To break the chains to free our desire

To live and breath in a certain way

Therefore, you and the rest walk along with me through my days

Though at times I wonder where you are now.

Thank you, Disturbia. I cherish simple moments of time of genuine soul connections. The avatar is a painting by a lovely artist I met while in Grenada, West Indies. Once I saw the painting, Invictus came to my mind. The trials we face should not invade our soul, yet season it.

The colors of emotion wash over us ever changing within the spectrum.

Pink, blue, red, yellow all evocative and compelling.

Thank you for bringing us this special shade of green.

This is very nice. Though at times I wonder where you are now. I suppose in that patch of green? I have been so busy and cannot keep up with the great stuff going on here any more. This is very nice. I must try and keep up with you somehow, keep bumping me to bring me round
