All We Can See

Poets United Think Tank Prompt # 10

In the midst of a heavy rain all we might see

is our good shoes getting wet

traveling down the desert path all we might see

is it is a long way to the river

at the end of a barrel of a gun all we might see

is all we love slipping away

staring down the trigger side of a gun all we might see

is everything we hate

at the edge of  mountain top all we might see

is how far we could fall

yet in the deep valley at our darkest place

all we can see

is the way up

and start searching for the light.

The Sound The Moon Makes

Think Tank Prompt # 7

There is a sound the moon makes when it takes up a fool's eyes.

It is louder than a train wreck, yet quieter than a cry.

There is a sound the moon makes when it is in a child's view.

It is louder than a herd of elephants, yet smoother than a flute.

There is a sound the moon makes when it fills a lover's sky.

It is louder than Beethoven, yet softer than a sigh.
