Offering bits of life to the nearly <br />Dead, a love bathed in red tea-d skies <br />An office of tremendous importance <br />Deserts on foot battling heat and soul’s thirst <br />Oasis’s flange- d palms and dates wave in dusk <br />Now, silhouetted people-d forms masked grey <br />Neither, black or white, journey’s midpoint <br />Just an indeterminate nation state <br />A-waiting, Love’s merciful tenderness <br /> <br />(Mountaintop Cottage, Tennessee <br />~ September 8,2006)<br /><br />Debora Short<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/love-bathed-in-red-tea-d-skies-2/
