for emma (who appears in perfect poetic stance)

dedicated to Emma Joy and her beautiful images of nature.

for emma (who appears in perfect poetic stance)

 

 

egrets dancing 'pon a glassy dance floor

waves cutting in rudely

they ignore,

partners exuberant in flights of busy conversation

 

the music may be imagined

or maybe there is a symphony 

carving its groove in a cumulus moment

 

Oh, they talk

they dance

no regrets

from the egrets dancing 'pon a chime of relevancy

 

tolling midnight

when everything changes back to what it was

before the first notes

when nature lived without man

 

and just sang in the shower

at the top of her lungs

free at last.

at first

and most definitely, at last.

Beautiful. I really enjoy the last verse, and imagining nature before man.
