Assemblage of treasure

I am a conscientious collector
Hunting for treasure bright,
From dawn to eventide
Forever searching with fervor.

Softness of a baby pink dawn,
Fluffy cotton candies floating in leisure,
Coy sunrise blushing in pleasure,
Calisthenics of birds airborne.

Dewdrops forming a semblance
Pearl necklace on a solitary leaf,
Perfume of Jasmine, a sudden whiff,
Squirrels waltzing in perfect balance.

First raindrop on earth’s parched lip,
Storm showcasing psychedelic lightening
With thunder’s staccato drumming,
Graceful rain twirling on toe tip.

Sensuous kiss of a honeysuckle,
Kaleidoscopic flirtation of a butterfly,
Precise discipline the marching ants comply,
Sting of an angry bee on my poor knuckle.

Purple folds of velvet sunset,
Arena bathed in full moon floodlight,
Dark sky etched with diamonds bright,
Headlights peeping from an owl’s nest.

I store them all in a box of ivory tone
Combination carved in my heart for reference.
When there is no memory or coherence,
Inseparable shadows of the twilight zone

I'll dive into my precious booty,
Chuckling like a toothless child.
