magical moments

[anirbas]

wind whips
the banner
of an American
flag snapping it
smartly against the cloud
scattered and scudded skies

blustery breeze
teases rose bushes
to release saffron
and tangerine petals
to drift, drift, drift
to the grassy ground

where they lie, apathetically
so many soft skinned coins
of gold and copper color

the bluster of highway traffic
roars and sighs below
my higher vantage point

i sit in my car
aurically
orbitally
becharmed
bespelled
in a parking lot

gifted to witness
and hear
this magical
moment

my mind
spinning
wafting
a loose balloon
without a string

caught up
blown about-
much as the wind
whipped day-
with thoughts of you

I really felt the mystical in the ordinary reading this.

Thank you, Phantasm.
