Purples and Reds

Poem .... Purples and Reds

Standing there
In a purple mist
Shadows dark red
Trying to resist

But fruitless this day
As bats flitter by
A howl through the woods
A darkening of the sky

You can feel it coming
Adorned in black cape
White boned hands grasping
No way to escape

A ray of light
Starts peaking through
Dissolving purples and reds
Starting life anew

Was it in my mind
That figure of dread
Walking with staff
And white boned head

That day will come
And oh so soon
With purples and reds
And howling at the moon

Live Life Anew

Poem .... Live Life Anew

Circle within a circle
Wheel within a wheel
Purple spiraling outward
Spewing spots of teal

Ending just beginning
Night turning to day
Was my thought just beginning
Black turning to Gray

Will it be a prediction
Or just what they say
Is it here forever
Or will just go away

I reach for understanding
But it changes hue
I want it coloured purple
It comes out coloured blue

Change is not prediction
And knowing is not true
Let go of having answers
And live your life anew

Also the Moon

Poem .... Also the Moon

We play this game
That leads to shame
Never ending
Always spending

Mother Earth
A resource heap
To make new things
Things not to keep

She keeps on turning
We keep on yearning
Out to the Future
We keep on burning

But time will come
And oh so soon
When trees we'll miss
And also the Moon

Growth

Denier Poem ..... Growth

Not to worry
Not to fret
Global Warming?
Not here yet!

Go to college
Get a degree
Plenty of time
Just wait and see

Don't listen to Doomers
And their wasted fears
We're just fine
For untold years

The oceans are cooling
It's a natural thing
Keep right on spending
Growth it will bring

Images of You

Poem ...Images of you

Cardboard skies
Of blue and gray
Purple streaks punctuating
All coming my way

Gold leaves drifting
Past rivers of blue
Heavens open up
With images of you
