The
Poetry
Sunbeams are gold
and if you look closely,
you will take notice
that they are lined with silver.
And even closer still
are the hairs of children
who play on the streets of Heaven.

They whisper through the wind,
through the tops of tall, sullen trees
and attach themselves,
to the porcelain complexions
of beautiful girls.
Under shade trees,
or the awnings of porches,
the summer air churns into itself
the warmth of the sun
and the hope of tomorrow.
