Exaltation

From lofty blues

I call your name

From verdant fields

It sounds the

same

Exalted high

Above all others

My heart

With wings

Takes flight

And flutters

To crests

Of snow

Beyond the trees

Where ice-capped mountains

Do as they please.

Common White Bond

I write to ease the pains of living,

soothing lines of emollient

for a weathered soul.

When daily dialogues fail to satisfy

moods within,

I lift my pen

and

transfer my fancies

to common white bond.

No need to discuss

these inspired reflections

defending their right or their wrong.

Just myself,

my pen

and common white bond,

finding solace from the pains of living.
