Crystal Banks

The water moves yet unencumbered
Stones like sequins shine below
Turning gently cragged and stuttered
Rapid wishes race to know
On the left an island outcrop
Tree lined collar, fire warm
Daylight fades beneath the backdrop
Red portends an evening storm
Lightly falls in whitened notion
On the right a silent sheen
Long armed perches bow in motion
Heavy with their guests serene
Lilt upon a frosted icing
Slip the oar in soundless break
Shimmering of drink enticing
Summoning a souls deep ache
Latent winter leaves it’s calling
Hopefully to springs sweet eyes
As the snow continues falling
Crystal banks the next sunrise

Poetry is an echo, asking a shadow to dance.
