"Welcoming Autumn" By Elexer Lyra

Welcoming Autumn

By Elexer Lyra

Fox of mellow nature

meet the windy

autumn of your ancestors.

The once young leaves

now fall

as you will once

your time comes.

Embrace the quite

letting go of 

worries

made by the 

soundproofing

which has fallen

and is now underfoot.

"Listen to the Ocean" By Elexer Lyra

Listen to the Ocean

By Elexer Lyra

Coastal waters 

of understanding

wash over me

in a blanket

of gratitude

and warmth.

As your lips move

and mine

stay silent.

Your words are threads 

of fishing line

tying my mouth 

shut. 

"Mazes of Success" by Elexer Lyra

Mazes of Success

By Elexer Lyra

Turning paths of

metropolis

circles in meditative

mazes of thought.

Motivational posters

for the finish line

with no hint of it's

location.

Found only by those

who kneel,

dig with bare hands,

forget the maze,

and find the tunnels

lined with gold.

"Cinders" by Elexer Lyra

Cinders

By Elexer Lyra

Scolding pencil tips

melt into my veins.

A cauldron is alight

to hone the fire

of pen and paper,

lit by moonlight.

Hair catches the flame

and fills the brain

with motion,

until the body glimmers.

The last stroke makes me

cinders.

"Kaleidoscope Rainbow" By Elexer Lyra

Kaleidoscope Rainbow

By Elexer Lyra

I change my colors

To match my soul.

I am not stagnant

Like a pond,

Happy with the smells

Of a complacent life.

I am,

More one color

Then the next.

Never a flat shade.

I have edges of emerald

And violet,

To breath in the grass

Between my toes.

Onyx centers

Grounding me.

Always moving thoughts.

Triangles of indigo

And tangerine,

Lend me knowledge

Between the pages

Of books

And experiences.

I am a kaleidoscope rainbow.

"Dancing With Succulents" by Elexer Lyra

"Dancing With Succulents" 

By Elexer Lyra

Silent strokes

Of dancers

Feet,

Floating

Through air

With sweet

Longing.

For Summer’s,

Drying dreams

Of Gaia’s

Ice,

Melting,

In earth,

To meet

Lips quenched.
