If you Follow

 

If you follow a colonnade of candles

                upon emerald fern stepping stones,

 scintillating lanterns

                and fluting winds of the trees,

lilac mist from sunset rain

                and yellow, gold, and rustic leaves~

 

Follow whispers in the wind,

                listen for the whip-poor-will

honeysuckle in their beaks,

                and if you listen and be still~

 

Gardenia wax dripping

                down the shaft of night

within the woodlands

                in nocturnal moonlight~

 

Beneath embellishment of stars

                a rustic table set for two

and goblets of Chardonnay

                will be the appetizer

                                for me and you.

So very dream-like my friend. An enchanted evening in the beauty of nature's forest, the sounds lulling the heart and a table for two...can't be more beautiful than that. Your poem is the essence of love and beauty. Very nicely done sweet Rose
