Moonlight Garden
(Revised)
The
bell-petaled flowers
Were
light purple,
Shaded
plum under the meadows darkness.
The
wind, cold Canadian wind,
Made
them move and mutter,
To
the tune of trembling violin strings.
His
hands played like a spider
Bustling
about its web,
Each
intricate strand entrancing the shadows.
The
air was full of sound,
High,
ascending melodies,
Remote,
to full for drab roars and patters
As
the world turned orange
The
song dissipated
Into
stillness, rays shining on the grass.
The
sun now a cherry
On
the shores of Lake Superior.
Icicles
Shining, it hangs in the air with
your frosted breath and joyous thoughts,
A frozen angel: pure; delicate; and
natural, a wonder to behold.
Its smooth, hilled surface distorting
the world around us.
Oblivious, we walk underneath,
without a thought
Of what bliss and beauty is above our
head.
Until droplets begin to fall to earth
And the air fills with crackles.
Then, we begin to notice,
As it all comes down,
And before we
Know it, it
Shatters.
Then we see a warped weapon of
nature,
Dangerous and sharp, cold to touch,
Leaving only shards in its wake.
Yet sunshine comes again
And melts it all away.
As warmth comes
Left in the wake
Is only a mere
Puddle.
