STAINED  GLASS  EYES

Sometimes you have to listen to me,

or better:  to watch me, to see what

kind of a mood I’m in today. Blue, dark

blue – then again sometimes everyone

is doing better than me, so I’m green

with envy – or when things get better,

I’m yellow - cold butter yellow -  bright

and alive for everything you want to

spread on my daily bread – and then

when I’m down, I’m brown, grey,

or red with hurt – kind of moody, eh?

But that’s what stained glass windows

can do to me when I drop into a grey

stone church on a quiet afternoon.
