The crackling of
her fallen ones
serenade the lovers
on their barefoot promenade,

above their starlaced shadows
she dons them halos, in
fine attire, of gold and
crimson, as her chosen ones
fly free as sparrows,
ride the spiral,suspend
between the earth and sky

and as winter shivers
and bares its branches ,
her eyes become brushes
and paint in the hollows,
with stained glass pictures
that dress the now
uncovered sky

knowing soon the mauves
of summer romance
eclipse the cinders of
autumns calling that
took her doting children
for a moment's high

smiling pretty
sits the goddess of leaves
upon a solitary branch,
her throne of love eternal
where all seasons intertwine

One sees the flight and fancy
of autumn, in this...

Ooh, ooh, lovley, especially:

and as winter shivers
                         and bares its branches ,
                         her eyes become brushes
                         and paint in the hollows,
                         with stained glass pictures
                         that dress the now
                         uncovered sky

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

I'm with Dixie!
That last verse left me with a gentle smile.
Lovely this....
Lovely you.
Hugs~

Now while the leaves still dance on the wind
While the moon and the clouds come spinning
Will you whisper my name again?
Again..and again.

Your words create such beauty and bring life- of that often taken for granted- to the forefront in startling array of grace - much enjoyed

you may be shy, but your poetry certainly is not...love the imagery

in the end it's not just you with your memories and your scars, fall on me if you ever forget how beautiful you are.

and dark
are whipped softly
with the touch of wind

This is lovely Michele, but it made me sad because it actually snowed here today, meaning soon the branches will be bare.
Beautiful writing, as always.
