Mood Swing



Orange, Yellow, and Pink
Radiating the horizon
Scenery in Ink
Watching the sun rising

Peaking under the bar
Then falling.
Descending far.
and farther
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The vibrant colors not visible
and my shoes hitting the ground with a thud
Life's movements unpredictable
Waiting patiently to be lifted out of the mud.

After limbo is peace
Entering out of damnation
Thrown into benediction
of temporary release.
