Synesthesia Gone Vision of you in a bright summer dress Came to me in vibrant colors Words you spoke were in rainbows Happiness I felt was a bright blue-green My world it seems was awash in magic. Time looked yellow to me But worked its damage in gray Slowly bleaching our world away Liquefiable colors fading like water Leaving nothing but stains of brown. My world now is all but ghostly gray The words I hear have lost their iridescence Where rainbows once appeared I see nothing but an endless void of hue Where once you stood there’s only a pale mist. The golden winged Iris has left my world And taken with her the magic of old The beauty of life seen thorough a kaleidoscope Words filled with letters from a rainbow Feelings saturated by a spectrum of colors. I will now bathe in colors of ghostly gray And recall all the words we say To calm a breaking heart I will gaze into the horizon till blinded by time For a rainbow that I can truly call mine.

Time To Unite As One . Regardless of your political incline Whether Left, Right or Central, no nation can be great when divided. To be great, a nation requires a great leader who believes in the strength of unity, not the corrosivenes of division. Just as important, the people must believe and practice unity. . In the words of John Dickinson . "Then join hand in hand, brave Americans all, By uniting we stand, by dividing we fall; In so righteous a cause let us hope to succeed." . The Liberty Song (1768) . . .

Number 65 (A short tale) . Do you recall walking past Number 65 and daring each other to enter that overgrown garden and knock on that dilapidated door? We mimicked courage while feeling the fear, and as we walked on by, our courage grew. Sometimes when I walked past it, all alone, I would stop to look at those curtained windows with cracked glass and peeling paint and wondered what or who lived behind them. The wind seemed to have taken up permanent residence around that ramshackle old building, where autumn leaves danced merrily all year round. It was as if time had left and never returned. Weeds had long ruled the kingdom of garden and path, but yet never quite taken complete control. Like some kind of naturally occurring chaos where no one thing had supreme power. Something in me was drawn to that old place, but my wild imagination kept me at bay. I can still recall that afternoon, when I lingered there too long. The skies were dark with an impending storm, and the winds were in a nervous hysteria, sending leaves and other debris on a wild dance all around. My eyes were pulled inexplicably towards that top window by invisible hands, and just as the first lightning flashed across the purple sky, I glimpsed a pale face peering out from the darkness inside. I jumped back so fast I stumbled and hit the pavement hard, scraping my hands, as my fast beating heart tried to resume control. I remember not looking back as I ran all the way home like a startled deer. I wish I had know then what I know now about that face that peered at me from the grey darkness of that room. I wish my courage had not been controlled by ignorance and I had walked up those steps, past that rusty old gate, and knocked on that time forgotten door. I wish the sun had shined brightly like today, and entered into that house at Number 65. . October 22 2015 . . .
