[B]Glitter[/B]

I, with the eyes of a child

have watched rain drops
tumble down staircases
and mountains

I, with the eyes of a child

have watched butterflies
dance to wind chimes
and branches shiver
from honest winters

I, with the eyes of a child

have watched snow angels
fly into the heavens
and listened to dust spiral into infinity
like a halo, on a mote of grass
etched softly on the landscape
of a playground

I, with the eyes of a child

are left empty
in the forgiving past
of what once was
spontaneous

[B]

Below The Train Tracks[/B]

Calm winds blow
From the east, to west coast
As rail roads freeze over
their rusted skin

Desolate, hum
([I]Birds chirping[/I])
Wooden fibers snap
under the steel tracks
Beneath the belly cracks
of the behemoth

([I]Birds chirping[/I])
Rush of movement
([I]Loud boom[/I])
Its’ sudden pass
Miles an hour

A deafening shiver

Tickled senses

Forgotten,

swept

below the train tracks

([I]Silent[/I])

C&C much appreciated. I hope you liked them.
