Desert Pool

Out of the window starred with dust
a flock of purple dotted thrushes,
flapping their wings against thick clouds
gray in color with lavender blush

Oh I must write this down, i said
As I took the coffee stained paper
lying on the desk beside my bed
grabbed the pen, stared for awhile

And a moment later.. Alas! I'm inspired!!

Captured beauty gently flutters.
The rhymes and measures suddenly sing
Filling my empty cup up to the brim
I'm left with no space in my paper

Time flies swift, done I am!!

Words are the dancers in our thoughts,
Graceful and silently bending to the shape,
And we are watchers hidden in the shade
who write with wonder pace by pace.
