REALIZATIONS

i realize azure skies
and billowy clouds
smiling babies
laughing loud
crimson sunsets
velvet nights
crescent moons
nighty-nights

i realize time
is really not mine
it's owned by gods
who defy the odds
for my finite mind
that tries to rhyme
yet somehow misses
cerebral kisses
from those above
though i do love

these sunshine days
and humble ways
of birds and things
like lakes and streams
midst sunny skies
and gentle lies
of lovers games
what else remains
but realizations
they're my foundation.
