The Concert

July 14th, 2008 · 4 Comments

As I walk into the woods,

the concert has already begun -

the wind lifts its baton

to conduct the dance of leaves

 

I sense the movement,

the sway and sigh,

as the fingertips of the trees

stretch to sing of life

 

The sun separates from air

to become small circles of light

flashing down between the leaves -

sparkling chimes of green and white

 

Mottled shapes from sun and shade

continue a dance along the floor

of this living space

that has welcomed me

 

The soothing sounds around me

dampen thoughts of human matters,

lending me peace, renewing my soul.

    Thank you for the poem, Regina. Just what I needed.

    I’m glad you liked it, Susan. I finally decided to start adding some of my writing to this blog. I enjoy it almost as much as painting, and am amazed when someone else likes it.

    Regina, this is so lovely and fits perfectly with the painting. Nice work on both….:)

    Thank you, Jo! I wrote the poem a year ago, but really liked how it fit this section of my gate painting..
