do you look at me through
rose colored glasses
waiting for the
clouds to part in
a display of sunshine
or do you wait cautiously
for the dust to settle
as i pick up the pieces
that fall without
ceremony to your feet
knowing that life cannot
be only black & white
for it is only after
storms the rainbows appear
& love is the tie that binds

i am a realist by nature
looking at my world
not through
rose-colored
glasses
but glass tempered
clear and hard
as the surface
of smooth steel beams
yet believing in angels
surrounding me
in my quest to seek
all that is
spiritual
feeling their presence
just beneath
the surface
as in a languid pool
of water
reality may keep
my being anchored to
the unsettling nature
of human beings in life
but my soul takes
flight
with my spirit
on an ever rising
tide of angels
and safe passage
