. (from 1966 – age 19)
.
At first I lived in black and white,
the nights were dark, the days were light
and in between there was a grey
that hardly changed from day to day.
.
Laughter sprang from shallow seas,

leafing elms 3-8-2012
my tears were trivialities.
I walked on by and couldn’t bear
the colors burning everywhere.
.
But then one spring the blue-bells tolled
of leaves in green and suns in gold,
of hearts that pulsate ripe and red,
love burst in rainbows ‘bout my head!
