Silken hands
_____________

Glistening strands that sway and glow at noon
in summer, lit by all the million mirrors
of effervescent, ancient greening world
who vivifies at other hues' expense
the air, the leaves, the stalk — and most, the roots,
still life enough leaves to the swaying strands
to shine, and mime at beauty with their dance;
mortality, the evanescent prance
of youth upon the superficial plane
strikes deeper in the heart than the arcane;
more poignant is the mystical mundane.

And when the youngling filaments, to dust
have dropped, and curled — returning, as they must
unto the source of their brief issuance,
they crumble, with a searing radiance
to form the crumbling edge of living scroll:
papyrus, aether-clear, record the role
of every pulsèd part, of every scratch
of cosmic pen on space — and every match
of opposite with complement, to join
the seeming red with blue, the greening loin
of nature sending forth effulgent web:
each increase, and each yearn of living's ebb
are scrawlèd in the undulating strands
that sway and glow at noon with silken hands.

I LOVED your photography and LOVED, LOVED, LOVED your poetry.

I find it beautiful how some people can understand life (more like finding themselves IN) through nature. If only schools taught us to observe nature cycles - it contains the answer to everything with no drama at all. The Winter tree might seem dead but has never stopped growing taller towards the sky.

How much truths and powerful wisdom is (not) hidden in Nature and Nature Poetry. Thank you for this. 😍

Such a gentle, and almost classical, lyricism in your poetry. I feel light-filled and softer for having enjoyed that. 😍

I'm glad to see this and expand my summer spectrum. That little bit of red was necessary to remind me how green everything was. Yes the colors... the beginning of expression comes from seeing and hearing.

Sometimes I'm at the computer and try but can do nothing. Then I take a paper and pencil and nothing comes. The beginning of expression comes from watching and listening, seeing and hearing.

Even if we cannot make anything "new" we are happy just to see and hear what has been created.
