the gleam of the time of day when the oily egg yolk gleans

The leftover bits of summer, a neon glow

It hits the light and creates a haze

A major role in the future sunset,

The first step of her light

Gives the impression of something brighter than the sun

Is it a chartreuse angel I behold?

As Job said: "Before I go, never to return, to a land of darkness and gloom [Sheol]"

But to step into shadow and understand the despair and agony

The sacrifice and device

Of heaven

Her bright, ocean-wide eyes, a towering spectacle

What aroma does her eternal color

Bring?

honey, saffron, and anise, deep red fruits

Fresh cut herbs, citrus and spice.

It's enveloped in a different perspective

Such a decision that lives on it's own merit

A grace that doesn't mean to show off its teeth like a ploy,

And the endearing melody of the

Chartreuse Angel-Eyes,

Captivates all

Like a deep breath

Letting out pure sunshine

And maple fall.
