Emery Iler Jan 2019
Hovering, its gentle, gleam a'glitter,
Sun rays hugging so daintily the plains of grass
That it could have been akin to quiet coveting
Of their transient green so far from its grasp

Then, as if in secret rising from the earth's coat,
From blades made chartreuse with sunset's caress,
There lifts a drunken, blanketed quiet that fill-
In preparation for the night- the land's every crevasse

Upon the branches arching, merging, enweaving,
Where the last few robins had been orchestrating,
The leaves give their tiny bodies up to the fading breeze;
A waltz so natural both need not bother hesitant contemplating

In dappling, splotching, sparks of amber scintillating a hue,
The trees too the sun embraces; the shades of sunlight
Creating a calico on its surface, still dull greens and greys amidst
Its autumn forgery, aureate bleeding bright

Nocturnal symphonies crescendo in harmonic chirps, croaks, and hoots;
As sunlight spools it's last golden threads to defy it's cruel god or master,
Who reigns, an even more kingly victory, wins last of battles, drags the sun down
To horizon's prison- subterranean capture.
Inspired by the odes of John Keats, I think modern poetry may have lost a hint of the same sort of grace, cleverness, and beauty he was so talented at creating.

she who loves is all I know

Wind fire earth sky

She walks the heartland of all life
She has a power of dignity

That has never been defiled

••

she carries every single child

Through the world's enweaving misery

To the mountains & the seas

••

I carry her in golden eyes

Wind fire earth sky

The power of true hearts' desire

Never has it been contained
Never has it been denied

••

She my love is at your door

She my love is by your side

She my love is the true name

The purest of the sanctuaries

Holds the reasons and the seed

••

She my love  walks thru the rain

She my love loves everyone

She my loves knows everything

She my love never dies

Wind fire earth sky
Wind fire earth sky
