Island to Island for Haiti

True Hues and Tints

Perceptional captures the essence not the source
One last word,"Shark!" enraptures remorse
Imaginations run wild to char and chafe
Your story well told remains forever fail safe

It's not true shark was the one thing he said
A deeper blue of dark quiet drifted up ahead
Can much more ever be heard from a pen?
Outlast your infighting, just get up and do it again

How long do I wait for more ice cream?
Drift in and out and scrape for the perfect scream
Locked in detail a tempest aims to calm
Droning and donning the sway under tropical palm

Have your say tell your story be the few
Truth's owner lies tinted in personal hue
Loosely base a case that chafes them still
Transform to soothe the storms of ill will

Character thrives amidst the knives of event
Cutting edges dredge the personally bent
Imaginary culprit is capable imagination
A dialogue spent between event and pageant's apron

Unbelievable happenstance fits its schemes
Institutionalized movement sits and dreams
Woven fabric of life flaps in cautious excitement
Petulant adolescence had its time at enticement

Fiction's intrusion gets a fix on our movement
Mapping out its intentions slightly aloof and bent
All the while the street protests came and went
That fictionalized version now fodder for cement

This little tale surely's not about me
Now richness in thickness how real life can be
Having my own time in the sun to vent
As grown as I am life's sown son to gent

Primal images please take me away
To the farthest stretches still held at bay
Is alien landing site the middle of my plate?
A true hue and hint of my fate
