A Poem by Wayne Russell

Ignition

Pink hues bleed
into the atmosphere
yellow orb flickering
in pale windows of
angel hearts enraptured.

Colors gallop across the
melting skyline
only to combust within
sheer spontaneity.

Soaring birds make way for
shards of red and orange
while upon a baby blue canvas
the inevitable unfolds.

This kaleidoscope of confusion
is born beneath calm heavens
a new day has dawned . . .

ignition.
