~be still

what hides behind your black door

wait

dark wind

 

 

slip softly through the shadows

of white-washed air

 

 

stay

unseen

like ghost rain

be

unheard

like the migration of clouds

 

 

there is a meadow of

a thousand lost fireflies

that dream in my eyes

like distant stars

over moon-bright water

 

 

wait

dark wind

 

 

as crickets sing

the softest lullaby

let nightfall

cradle my evergreens

soothe my mountain soul

 

 

and when the yellow trail

of morning

dances

upon blue waves of sky

and awakens

a circle of sun

 

 

I find the transparency

of a dewdrop

as it slides the curves
of an emerald blade

 

 

and I am

unafraid

of your dark wind

breath

[Samith Pich]

an intoxicating poem, i was in for a treat with the very first lines:

wait
dark wind

that's a whole poem in itself.

the poem is evocative and romantic, great images

'I find the transparency
of a dewdrop
as it slides the curves
of an emerald blade'

could this also be 'off an emerald blade'?

The only recommendation is that the ending could be stronger. you could make the last 4 lines into 2 lines to keep with the structure of your poem i.e

dark wind
I am no longer afraid.
