Too soon the colors
Blazing on the trees
And paths
And drains
And roofs of cars
Would calm,
And ground
And street
And city parks
Will match the clouds in
Moody monochrome.
For the Lens-Artists challenge: Monochrome

In a while
There will be all colors
Of the rainbow
And then some
More.
In a while
There will be radiant
Greens and sunny yellows
And all the different
Shades of
Purple
To show.
In a while
The monochrome of winter
Will make way for
Brightly colored
Spring
To make eyes and hearts
Glow.
There’s snow in the North hemisphere
There’s sun in the South
A mystery line that splits seasons
And turns the sun around
One world
Two halves
East and West, North and South
A multitude of places and
Even bigger one of beings
All unique in their glories
All striving for life
Ice coats sidewalks in New Hampshire
Sweat coats brows in Brazil
There are coats in Chicago
Flip flops Down Under
Naked trees in Vermont
Bikinied girls in Cape Town
All attires between
In all places are children:
Bundled up or
Bare armed
Booted and coated
Warmed in the sun
In a sphere blue with oceans
Currents, islands, trade winds
Charted lands
Charted songs
Charted trends
Blogged, tweeted, emailed heart lines
There’s a place of belonging
A tangible understanding
A gravity holding
Us all on shared ground.
