When new born leaves blow quietly Like clouds across a placid sea, The coppice is a holy place Of peacefulness and whispered lace Where time is such a fragile thing Between the pages of the Spring, And water painted in sunglow Flows gently through the trees below.
And like a coloured tissue dream A thirsty deer drinks from the stream, Then turns and tiptoes soft and slow Adrift upon the bluebell flow, And in an instant, danced away A moment drifting on a day Like cherry blossoms tossed and blown Confetti at a Wedding thrown.
While from the glade on either side Deep dark clad emerald visions glide, Mysteriously the forests grow Within their ethereal glow, And diamonds flit from tree to tree Like merchants of tranquillity That paint the air with jewelled sound, A clock that never needs rewound.
As wing beat whispered twilight calls And elegantly, evening falls In shaded velvet mystic strands That lay their hush upon the lands, As everywhere within the glade Songs of the living slowly fade, Until once more the night is King With all the secrets shadows bring…

You know, BD, I think this is one of your most old school crafted pieces! The shape alone is lovely, but the content, the imagery of spring is really specific and alive! A well deserved POW! Great job.
