The veil is thinning Night is gone A new beginning The coming dawn Then so suddenly on the rise I see autumns auburn eyes Where the heavens and earth embrace They touch so gently upon her face She is the fire That's claiming me Newborn desire This flaming tree Silence is broken Throughout the land All are awoken By her hand As she ascends from on the hill Each dying flower meets her will And every time she walks this way They all shall live another day How do I know She won't miss me For I still grow Apart of this tree As she fades My tear stained eyes Follow the glades Where the river lies On the horizon a wondrous sight A lonely lover lights up the night Trust in feelings not the mind For all along we've been so blind To share the sun Emboldens me To make as one Our golden tree |

Walt~ This is stunning poetry~ Replete with vividity and imagery, yet gently clothed in tenderness~ VERY VERY VERY enjoyable~ A keeper~ *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Walt! Your sensitive side shows quite often and this is one of those times. It's got YOU written all over it. I don't think anyone could have done this better. (And I'm sure you have NO reason to have your hand in 'deer's pocket!) |
