Travel Vibe

Greenspace -- Natural Flow -- Iao Valley, Maui

Bursting in with comet speed,

Tailing ethereal escapes,

Folding in and out of state,

The salacious flirt now spins retreat.

Exhales draw breath with renewed interest.

Green pastures bend to golden sandstone with a deadline footnote.

Spontaneous combustion takes the fall.

Sublime surrender in rubble razes ground.

With charming rescue, wildlife rings celestial bodies.

Coincidence swims with shouldered intent.

Accidents pour with pretext.

Either way, love now enters the equation…

Tripping skyward among insanely sunny showers,

Freefalling into a bed of mudded waters,

Eyes open!

Twisting wood and ocean hues are charging the horizon.

Smiling wildly at that spark of green before a setting sun,

Standing like a hanging man released from a parody of fate.

Is that sweat upon brow hovering over a grin?

Yes! The prism discovered its flood of light.

And so it goes, a fall trips spring…

Unearthed reflection now pitches universal color!
