Along the north end
of the
Connoquenessing Creek
which flows
through
the southside of town
there used to be
an old
glass factory
that for years has been
torn down
its now a great place
to beat the heat
relax and let the
hours pass
you can swim
with the fish,
throw your dogs
some sticks
or from the banks
collect
colored glass!

some people
are so uninspired
by what they cant
easily see
just more
throw away
left to decay
along the edges
of their memory
But I saw some
timeless treasures
unique and unrefined
with a gentle hand
removed years of sand
so
The Beauty Within
could shine...

reflecting the light
from the suns warm rays
I saw an onyx
as black as a
coal smoke haze,
what a pretty
sight!
a blue
as azure
as a moonlit sky
portraying star drawn
pictures
that capture your eye
on a
dreamless night...
while the
rippling green
reminded me
of the leaves on
a weeping willow tree
lifted by a gentle
breeze
and taking flight...

each cast
its own
timestamp of trait
no two are ever
exactly the same
but they're as
vibrant
as a spark filled
raging flame

beneath the
roughest exteriors
things aren't always
what they seem
if we only ever see
the rougher side
we sacrifice
a chance to dream
and so wondrous
are the beauties
of nature
one should always
take the time to seek
for inspiration
faith and hope
were found
that day
along the
Connoquenessing Creek!
