rainbow trim
by Jeff Flesch, Monthly Contributor

folded end over end, like a piece
of steel
with rainbow trim
a fascinating deluge of colors
vibrant and felt within
my heart
it beats to a steady rhythm, resonating
with the loss and suffering we’ve all
been
through
as past and present experiences coalesce
into you
and I transpire
like a leaf wafting in the breeze, awaiting
the dawn’s new view

I love the contrast of steel and rainbow trim. Isn’t that what life is all about? We are extremes within ourselves and that is what is fascinating about the human nature. Always waiting for the new dawn… Beautiful writing, Jeff. 🙂
