Not only subtle branches
and leaves draw fractales,
but the wind moves them
freely and the evening light
circles them as shadow plays,
adding to that the Symphony
number 5 of sibelius
and you will have an idea
of the perfection of the moment
when I watch these branches moving
and make sensitive all
the mathematical elements
of this nocturnal magic show.

Ah, yann, not only can I watch with you - I can hear the music. Beautiful.

Yann, I turned off the TV to hear Sibelius as I read this exquisite poem . . . mmmm . . . I'm still hearing it all . . .

Love the sway of branches, and the underlying rhythm.

Nice writing, islander~

Yann,

You draw a good simile between shadows and fractals. Why not capitalize Sibelius?
