Strings and Strands


Strings and Strands                                               Voxpoetica Prompt 12-31-2011

I have been caught up in the strings
Tangled like a marionette
Someone else always knowing
Which ones to tug or pull on for my heart
Leaving strands of color swirling in my sight

Was it this Christmas or last
Where all the tree lights changed to only white

Christmas’s past, was filled with colored lights
And strands of popcorn, beads of multi colors
When the tree was finally trimmed and plugged in

The entire world tasted
The rainbows of Christmas
And kissed in New Year’s
          With peppermint breathe

Freight Train with no lights painting rainbows

 

The freight train had no lights,

yet fire spurred from its belly

it ran through my house

catching it afire

I’ve always have painted rainbows

about me and all bad stuff

but fire destroys all you own

so now I am painting rainbows with embers

while thanking God everyone is ok

for you see religions are man-made  shades of grey
