     Transitions (#2)

As a fickle crescent moon
leaves this clear-stared
and frosty night en prise
to the pristine loveliness
of a diaphanous dawn,
only these grand-forest
  hills never tire
of our finest winter
hopes and dreams,
dancing still with the
  mist and shadows
to the music of sunrise
and the promise of this
  new spring morn.

Very lovely. You are a writer of pictures (if that makes any sense).

Oh, that is a beautiful dawn!
It makes me want to stretch and purr!

These words alone could send winter away and
make spring appear.

Secondhanddreampoet,

Nice work, thanks for the new word, and French phrase.

You make me miss my park.

Amazing though, how you can give me the same reverie I once had, watching the sun go down, framing the silhouettes of that lovely little cypress park--in the fall? They drip like Dali paintings...

It is very lovely to read you.

Hi, Bruce. I still find it amazing that a left-brained geologist, such as yourself, has an equally developed, creative right brain!

The images you've offered here give me chills as I recall how it felt to be in the presence of those forests, those hills in this season. Beautifully done, especially:

"only these grand-forest
hills never tire
of our finest winter
hopes and dreams,
dancing still with the
mist and shadows
to the music of sunrise"
