Poetry is Power: Crystalized fire

 

 

Leaves of fire,

Red and orange,

Flames flickering in the wind,

Shimmering with dew droplets.

In the early morning light,

Burning bright with color,

Even in the night,

Crystal drops,

Turning the leaves into,

Crystalized fire.

So beautiful you try,

To save its beauty for,

Another time.

For,

Forever,

But its nature.

It can’t be taken,

It can’t be caught,

It must be free,

You can never capture life.

Even if you caught it,

It wouldn’t be as,

Pretty as it was,

In nature,

Where it belongs,

Free.

Fiery flames of leaves,

Shimmering crystals of dew,

Crystalized fire,

All in nature.

I’ve owned “Watchmen #1” since the day it came out, or close to its release date in September of ’86. It’s spent most of its life bagged but not boarded. The spine is still crisp, as are the edges. It lies relatively flat, and the color seems good. Maybe slightly dimmer. I think I’ve been…

Killington’s summit: Where the mountain whispers back

I had ridden bikes all day with a couple of friends. In my memory, it was one of my friend’s birthdays, and we were working on her goal of being able to ride Yo Vinny. Not without putting a foot down because that section of ladder around the big rock would always be tight.  But…
