In the space between moments

0 posted 2004-05-18 12:46 PM

Verdant fingers, lush with life
close in a canopy
creating cavernous calm
the solace seeps
by way of shimmered rills
richly teardrop fed

The dark loam is soft
like the memory of loves
washed clean by time
here I can rest my dreams
where shadows expand
and moments elongate
as the dark season approaches

I hang musings from branches
thick with amber-turning leaves
but bury trust beneath roots
to decay and fade away
In the deep wells of Earth
my heart will remain.

The looming of oak trees
and sweet curve of saplings
define the edges of my world
an emerald embrace is all I need
I can no longer feel
the apathy of concrete or
the judgment of friends
just the sympathetic touch
of pine needles and breeze.

Alwye -- this was a really lovely poem and I especially liked this last stanza. We all need to 'hug a tree' every now and then.

Oh, but it is SO good to read your poetry again. I agree with Iliana - hugging a tree is a very good thing

Krista~
You know how pleased I am to see you here~

'I hang musings from branches
thick with amber-turning leaves
but bury trust beneath roots
to decay and fade away
In the deep wells of Earth
my heart will remain.'

So many know these feelings, dear~
Your penning intensifies the remember of those times~
Love ya'
