Mid-air


The
mid- air
awakening
of
a
dreaming
swallow
caught
peaceful
in
her
shadows
of
elegance.

Portugal Portrait
 

Such a breeze could
spell romace & bring
 
An end to the flowers
that move in shatter'd
 
Forms of promises
 
& shatter'd promises
bring the dust of old friends
 
That dance in the neglect'd
corner's of a sleepless night
 
& old friends make history.
