sky-painting

a cup of tea

simmers with aroma


you sip its warmth

as blues shuffles the air


evoking happy times-

you write your verses


imagining time is splatter of color

you draw on sands


vermillion sky-

mumuration of starlings-


you, being carried away

on clouds

    I love that wonderful ending, even though it sounds like there is a lot of loss where only imagination can provide solace.

    I LOVE this, Grace. I am especially smitten with these words:
    "imagining time is splatter of color"
    I'd like a palette of vibrant colors please....nothing dull....all happy colors!

    What a lovely poem to read on a cold February night, Grace! And that cup of tea simmering with aroma - I’ll have to make one now!

    Your words are a mini-meditation. You had me at cup of tea. And I love “as blue shuffles the air” and “you, being carried away
    on clouds”

    "as blues shuffles the air" sets the atmosphere perfectly, Grace, as our thoughts shuffle after yours, in tune, "being carried away on clouds." 🩵

    "you, being carried away on clouds" ... can be read so many ways. I love the mystery and imagery. "You" could be me, carried away after this stressful corporate America day, needing that cup of tea evoking happy times. I love poetry that provides what the reader needs, giving us a palate but letting us read into it what we will.
