running

running deliquescing into nature i am engulfed in stillness i encounter a deer as i round a corner its chestnut eyes intensely sense something wild within me transfixed we meld palpably whispering our essence myopic views warp into acute focus golden flowers stretch and arch and yawning into the sun swell with bursts of luster whilst violets polka dot the path with lilac luminescence dead tree trunks mutating into masterpieces yearn for new life drawing in the squirrels yellow-bellied birds hover sensing my motions whilst woodland winds undulate pine scented waves of sea salt oceans my ears enchantingly enhanced by bristling leaves caressing trees as scintillating amber butterflies dance in synch with the clock tower’s ancient chiming a gust of wind catches a patch of sand and sends it quivering fusing high in summer air then falling soft as feathers hidden fairies prance about answering unheard questions problems dissolve in emerald meadows without a hint of striving essays write themselves upon my mind poetry flows through me wings of meadowlarks trace my face with nuances interlaced with connotations rushing home i write it down then bowing i take credit for what was etched upon my soul by a sunbeam in the forest ©2016janetaylor
