Whispers of Rainbows

  As the thunder roars You can faintly hear Whispers of rainbows That soon will appear These charismatic friends Come to make peace With their blend of colors Warring storms cease In a radiant display Prismatic and bright They’ll paint the sky When basked in sunlight There but a moment Before fading away Whispers of… Read More Whispers of Rainbows

Tired Feet

Enlightened

Stay Awhile

  Won’t you stay awhile To hear the sparrows, sing? Just listening To the message they bring A peaceful surrender From a life too fast A deep calming breath That will last and last From a simple song That muffles the noise The sweetest symphony Of the purest joy Won’t you stay awhile To hear… Read More Stay Awhile
