Illuminated

(spontaneous write)

enhanced the beaded droplet dew

at dawn the branches creaked in pain

but noon day sun has cast a spell

each gemstone gleams with lustrous light

this birch tree leaves the rest in shade

"at dawn the branches creaked in pain" this line really make us feel the sore..... your poem is written beautifully and reaches us with its brilliance and wisdom in a gentle way. if we wait with patience until the right time, we will shine brightly.

Thank you lightsong for visiting this older write. We all have our moments. Just like the tree does and often out of season and when you least expect it. I appreciate you dear poet.

I just love these spontaneous writes. For me, they are words illuminated that must find a way to spark or they will just burn into the ether. We are the vessel, our pen the gift!

Perfect in many perfect ways. Execution, many layered subject and composition to name but three.
I love the fact that it turns in and around itself as of course does nature.
