Sparrow Sputters

Sparrow Sputters

A Poem by Donald Meikle

Heart flutter hopes
like wind scattered leaves
tangled in dream twigs
By breezy adversity

Clinging and clutching to branches of memory
of yesterday's sunshine in torrents today
Glimmers so golden they flicker so faerie
As dream dazzled tears yet drip in dismay

Tempering splashes of minor discomfort
Mocking the mind games while three moves ahead
What will it matter when every thing's dead
Ride with the flow living the now
In a present so tense it's teaching you how
