Through the clouds sunlight shines It illuminates the sky in golden lines Warmth is spread thoughout the land Inner peace is at last at hand Times of conflict are now over In the grass there's a four leaf clover I can feel the heat of the sun Its intensity is second to none In the air is the scent of flowers You can smell them from the highest towers Their colors are a sight to behold Deep red, blue, pink, purple, and gold The wind causes the leaves to dance One breaks off and gets its chance To live apart from the oak tree Fly away from here and be free The sun's yellow turns to pink As it begins to slowly sink Then it has an orange glow Reaching the horizon it slips below Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

"The wind causes the leaves to dance One breaks off and gets its chance To live apart from the oak tree Fly away from here and be free" --------------------------------- Beautiful..and if i were that little leaf i would want to break free and float on the sunshine warm wind on this beautiful day youve just lovingly described.. Your poem was breathtaking! |

If you are going to listen to the wind then that sounds like the place to do it. This was a wonderful read at this hour (any hour actually)and your vision is once again lent over to me. Thank you for the read |

LoneWolf~ I'm simply blown away at the vividity of the colors in this lovely piece. Iffen you don't mind - I'm gonna think of it as one of your best ! What a full palette of beautiful colors. May the sunlight kiss your face with a smile, as you have surely placed a smile on mine. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Ahh, see? There, you've gone and done it again. Take me to an autumn meadow and I see your poem all around me. Wonderful visuals created by this one! I can almost smell the cooling breeze as the sun sets! *sigh* |

Awwwww what a a mess, this is what I get for having multiple windows open... I messed up the name... I am so sorry for that... this was pure circumstantial... I hope you'd forgive me... but my comments still hold true of course... I am like all pale with embarrassment, Lone Wolf... regards, sudhir |
