The Wind in the Willows

To-and-fro
Up and down
Side to side
And all around

Arise with forehead to the sun,
Join the blooming rites of Spring
Fuel a fire in these spirits
Let them feel the warmth within it

Our faces hidden behind shadows
Leading a procession to the grove
We’ll wrap the night in silky blessings
Touching lightly then caressing
Like they used to in days of yore

Where the sacred fires burn
We lose all sense and reason
With markings on our skin
Of stars that quickly turn
Dance brightly in the wind
Celebrate the changing of the seasons

To-and-fro
Up and down
Side to side
And all around

life dances between summer and spring. She brings out the new outfit of hers in the fall and in the winter lights up her eyes with cold piercing beauty.

This is beyond beautiful. It's like the words written became alive, having a mind of its own. An ode to nature at its best. I enjoyed every line.🌺

It's like a mantra that keeps resonating.

This poem is beautiful. It is a wonderful celebration of nature and spring.

I appreciate it. Thank you! I'm ready for spring and all it brings. :D

One of the most compelling things about this poetry is the picture used.

This was a beautiful piece to read.✨ The right words are used and every sentence compliments each other.

Did the motivation for this piece come from the picture?

Thank you! I appreciate your comment. I was out and about when I took this picture. Then at home, I brainstormed the images and feelings it conjured up. I put on some music to get in the mood too. Then the poem grew out of that bit by bit. I wrote three different versions, but this one resonated with me the most.

this one resonated with me the most.

Just the same way it resonates with us.
I like that you also use music to set the mood while being creative.

Thank you for sharing with us ✨
