Twilight

Mirrored reflection on mountaintop minehole
reveals conical tips of stately fir trees.
Dew-captured twigs outstretched in beggars fashion;
twitching like bad nerves struck unaware by north breeze.

Tall cat-o-nine tails bow their bodies in top-heavy slump,
baptising foreheads in Heaven's bucket of raindrops collected.
Gray-edged clouds creep sporatically into blue skies,
wishing to join hands to ease their bellies well-fed.

Gilded birds sing brightly their praises of adoration;
downy feathertip to feathertip freely soar
while golden glow of sun lazily shutters.
In light waning, their song faintly heard evermore.

chanson~

Chanson,
you have painted some of the most wonderful images in a most pleasing way... and your command of over the language shines through like the sun's first rays through the twilighted daze...

regards,
sudhir
