Words to Images

My wish for today in Jamie's Wishcasting Wednesday is:

For WINTER to be OVER!

To keep myself sane: I painted the following in PS and dabbled in some more poetry. :)

Foot prints
Paw prints
Their prints merge
Over the lolling
Hilly verge.
White of the sky
Melding with brightness
Smoky breath
Lifts up in lightness.

Foot prints
Paws prints
That crunch
In the ground
The air is still
Steps echo
The sound.

In the snow
There’s a hush
When you know
There’s no rush
The heart beats
Furnace heat
Guiding feet.

Tree tops
Light drops
Stars pop,
First
In the glassy sky
Velvet-gowned
Burst
Retiring diva
Dropping her carat stones
Lazing back
Sparkling throne
Beyond the touch
Diamond snow.

And on the street
Right foot
Left foot
She drums a beat
Of longing
In her head.
And on her feet
Her runners worn
Right foot
Left foot
Her shoe laces torn
Strum on the pavement
With paw pads
A soft arrangement
Of loosely corded song.

She does not see
The shoelaces free
From all restraint
They twirl a dance
In dog eyes, trance
Beyond her gaze
And starlight glaze.

The pineapple clouds
Heavy laden
Bobbed
Scraping buildings
And towers,
Even lower,
They dropped.

Glancing at them,
Our mouths water
Our minds drift,
Our disillusions
Shatter

Will they break open soon and sluice?
Smile and spill their juice
And deliver us all?

From stale existence
And dry persistence
Of that unmoving wall?

In the puddles they form
Will we jump like children
With umbrellas small?

Suddenly refreshed
From the sterility
of our urban angst
We taste the fullness
Of pineapple lust.

Be strong and blessed be :)
