The Castle Suspended by String

I live in a castle

that's suspended by string

high above the clouds

It passes  over crystalline lakes

a reflection distorted and rippled

between a mass of lilies

Ground dappled with red and orange

bare branches reaching into the night

to pluck the shining stars

Flowers wilt on dying grass

lightning flashes, thunder booms

and rain stirs the mud

Sun beams on thriving earth

blooming flowers dot the valley

like splattered paint on a blank canvas

I live in a castles

that floats on the sky

and listens to the wind

Such a powerful and vivid opener. I love the close by return at the end of the piece, the true sign of a craftsman. I love the way everything flows so nicely, brillant piece.
