golden sky

above me

free within


moonlit night

stars shining

dark insight


turn the key

while winds whip up vast clouds

of desert dust into the empty blue sky

as I spend another morning tapping keys


building worlds of words where I am the key

yet all the future moments are cloudy

seeking a sky unseen, key to cutting through

        clouds of misunderstanding

poppy orange it’s blooming

day awakening

untouched potentials spout

from this old man’s pile of verse
