Earth-Chilled Tense

Sweet scented morn of Autumn’s rainfall night!
Cold raptures shiver skin with air-swift breeze,
while rainbow dews send sparkled show of light
into the reverent eyes of soul’s release.

Aroma waft your prize to me! I sip,
revived by storm-fresh skies! Earth’s cycled shift
spins hemisphere into chilled season’s grip
as leaves forlorn befall my form like gifts…

Perfume of growth replete with harvest moons!
I wear your tang and dance upon rain dews!
Too soon the winter’s freeze will shatter boons
of sun-salved days, decrying life reviewed...

So shadowed Autumn falls with earth-chilled tense,
to fade the colors planet’s nature spent.

One of my favorites, sweet Erin. I caught myself basking in the metaphoric glow... when you write, you paint... when I read you, sometimes, I make sounds, like sigh, or maybe wow! and often, ahhhhh... and it isn't always the story that brings these things out into the world from inside, but your adept, breezy, gently intense word-play... your internal rhyme and alliteration is a celebration of the only thing we have to share our thoughts here... words. Wonderful weaving, wistful word-poet. katy xox.

This will forever be a poem from natures heart that I will cherish. Your gift is one of praise honor and love. There aren't too many poets who have the love and respect in their heart to write of nature as your pen.

This poetic flower from the garden of the Poet's cosmic-mind, "Earth-Chilled Tense" with petals scented with aroma of wisdom, delivers the beauty of intelligence and creativity through its combined imagery.
