Today at dversepoets.com Grace asks us to write poetry to the art of Cheryl Kelley which is like looking in a a kaleidoscope check it out here for some fun.Thirsty for coolness
to flow around me
I swim in the indigo sky with stars
Springs from whence I came shine in the distance,
their routes wayward
yet defined by mountains
phalo green, abergine,
burnt sienna
Obvious to the map maker,
breaks in the sea appear
and streamlined quinacridone gold bridges
carried me for the day
leaving no footprint
Wearing my opera rose lipstick,
I played the lead for awhile -
until my legs gave out,
but not my heart
Beyond the sea
I found knowledge,
love and beauty
amid chaos, people screaming
My vision of the world,
through the stained glass window
of my soul
where I found what I needed
most to know
Still I think to return
to the midnight star brigade
stretching my arms
in large strokes -
be the butterfly migrating
across the miles,
the eagle with sharp eyes;
my thirst to be quenched,
soul renewed once more
