Tapered Light

Recall an uncharted trail as petals fall
Once begun in wistful arch of brush and wrist
Sunflower Sunday wears a blush of coral rouge
In a wedge of discarded sticks to hold a spirit up
Perhaps elapsing heavy and full a gangling G Clef

Or taken tone, might willow in an oaken moment
Rich and robust, the breath drawn deeply in
Just visiting on a guess of fond appeals seal
Though even in vain, the chant of pinecone sound
Might there be berries hidden undercover of leaves

On and on, never to predict the compass turn
A slight right, more to the left of ego or sundown
I prayed here, in a casual shirt and barefoot
Watched for miracles and listened for a perfect pitch
Caught on the fly, as daylight faded, returning me

A glance cast over my shoulder met the thin sigh of again

Kathleen, this is simply enchanting!
Into my library it slips.
hugs, Chris

Poetry is an echo, asking a shadow to dance.

flying off in a stream of dream
