As I watch twilight kiss
goodnight the sleepy brush
distant amber hues rise above
divinities edge
quietly, gently
the dragonfly ripples
her song
to vanish upon her murky shores
melancholic upon the carpet marsh,
still air murmurs a lofty breeze
to dance in arms of autumn
leaves
breathlessly-
I welcome the dazzled delight
emerge from day
to starlit night.

Stunning, absolutely stunnign iamges scroll from this poem.... how evocative.

This is euphoric for me.
One of my favorite topics to read and write is nature, so this is just magic. I love the rhythmic flow to this and the metaphors. Autumn is one of my favorite times of the year. It's a splash of the divine, as far as I am concerned. I see Autumn as I peer through imaginary kaleidoscopes.
