inside my quiet self
branches spill down to the woodlands
wild garlands can be reached by fingers from afar
the hues, soft pastel
smudged across an easel in a form so stunning
i could relish and touch it
savoring the stamen in my wet mouth...
bright sky peeps out of a newborn landscape
a primitive choir of animals
chants of radiant praise for a season
as my palms reflect the glass of earth
on the mist of day nibbling flakes from my eyes
light turning red, night fading white
licking stems of twilight dew
entering the nooks of my soul to a glow
and the shadows of all constellations rise
like giant stones, beautiful and silent
piled up in a row lining into heaven...
i walk far beyond my own galaxies, content
inside my quiet self ~n~ |

Very pretty and I like the imagery. But as a "dirty", 63 yr-old man I must say that I found "savoring the stamen in my wet mouth" just a touch erotic for a poem about Nature. But then I guess one could argue that Nature does arouse passion. After all nymphs and satyrs did roam through the forests right!
Happy New Year,
Mike
