CRAZY GREY SKY

What’s that I long for?
What’s that smell I long?
The wafting scent of sulfurous fumes
What’s that sensation I long?
The rumble of the crumbling, rocks passing under my feet.
Or
The whispering slick parting of air as we rush along the surface.
What’s that sight I long?
The sight, of the transparent yellows, or the deep dark greens, the flashing scarlet
An endless changing chain it seems.
Like the one we ride.
What’s the sound I long?
The sound of a distinct silence,
That teams with textures but is creased by our rhythmic pace.
I am protected by the dank earthy mud below
And
A crazy grey sky above

That fades away to a plummeting blue.

ROOTS

Burgundy and Magenta roots of the twisted oak
Wandering, roaming through tumbling hills of endless grass
Sailing out to the deep, blue ocean of mountains
To the stone castle.
A girl drifts past the wild, flowered, dirt paths
She goes, blending into the gold, magenta
Burgundy roots are her roots
Her roots are my roots
In the forest
Where we stand.
