What do You See?

Angela Semmons
Trumpeter

 In a world where cities
 wear grey coloured garments – observe
 to match a grey earth,
 chokingly dusty with
 the hurried feet of humanity, - observe the observer
 there are those that
 dwell in an invisible land - and close your eyes
 beside river banks
 hidden in mists and
whispering winds - what do you see? 
 In the world of cities
 they breathe in car fumes - breathe gently
 but in their dwelling place, - look in 
 elbows resting upon earthly
 green cushions – listen
 it is the healing perfume
 of a jasmine breeze
 they inhale - can you hear?
