earth tones

i'm uncomfortable
with nattering restlessness
deafened
by the frenetic buzz 
of the movers
and the shakers

i do not blend well
into the neon light
and i prefer the rustic charm
of root vegetables
over concoctions whipped up
by chemists in chefs clothing

 i am a child
of the green gold sod
a product of  
a washerwoman's holiday
i understand need
i believe in want

    Another great one, Rene.

    Sometimes the most beautiful things in this world are the things most people never notice.

    I want to be sleeping like a baby, on my mom's shoulder...or any shoulder for that matter.

    Beautiful.

    Even God, Himself, was found in a gentle breeze -- not the burning bush! Amen, Rene!

    Rene~
    I was always taught that "Shadows owe their births to the light" so you are indeed in good company.

Magpie Tales #37 woke up this mornin' beside myself just me, myself starin' at myself forty days bleedin' into forty nights i can't make it right can't stand my sight risin' river drownin' hopes of love no sign of light from them clouds above down below just a lonely gaze silent and haunting through the smoky haze green valley memories swirl and tease my head and what you said before you fled promised me that i'd find love again a true soul friend at different rainbow ends risin' river drownin' hopes of love no sign of light from them clouds above down below just a lonely gaze silent and haunting through the smoky haze Rene ~ 2010 Whoa! Sorry for the mega depressing magpie!  I even bummed myself out after reading this. It is in no way autobiographical, so worry not gentle readers. I usually go with my first thoughts when doing Magpies...my first thought upon seeing the photo prompt was loneliness......
