Life sprouts from passing
29 December 2015
Wading its way up
Into winter horizons
The sun reeked of change
Shadow of moon wept
Translucent mark in the skies
Ghost of yesterday
Your heart slow stammered
Strong were the upcoming tides
That would wash ashore
Rejoice for this pause
The calm before the storm’s dark
Winter will see through
Spring will speak of peace
In the whispers of the leaves
Growing on brown stems
Blue flowers will bloom
Upon the reddened meadows
Contrast of colours
Hearts will know of green
Beating under lush crimson
Metamorphosis
In between faces
Recognition but a sign
Renewal of Times
Summer will breathe bliss
Lazy hays that stretch outwards
Into new spaces
In between the cracks
Rivers of yesteryears’ gloom
Surfacing bubbles
The day will break night
Glorious winged serenity
Guardian of the realms
Bubbles will burst breath
Rancid spots on sheet of white
Agonising past
Autumns will bear sheaths
For all daggers of seasons
Stilling mildewed breath
The fog and the wind
United in scattering
Closing paths of fear
The wheat rolled in piles
A bounty for two morrows
Constructing solace
We will knead them bread
From the death of the treasons
Life sprouts from passing

Wings of Gabriel – Arcana
Serenity – Arcana

Life cycle of nature explained with beautiful words!!!
Thank you so much. Yet again wordpress did not notify me 🙂
Thank you too 🙂 Hopefully it notifies better in future 🙂
I hope they fix the bug. I actually also noticed sometimes my poem is not appearing in the feed either
A beautiful connection between seasons and feelings and a very clever title! 🙂 🙂
Thank you Dajena 🙂 I just passed by and saw your tree poem as I was doing my round of reviewing all writings I had missed out on. What a beautiful poem really! I just realised too that your title was very clever too because of the double meanings: the form of the poem which makes it a concrete representation of the tree but also when you think of trees in the city, they are planted into concrete so the association of that urban image to your title automatically happens.
Oh I love your addition to the poem Geetha. Your words added a new dimension to it.
What a keen eye and generous heart you have!
Thank you for your kind words 🙂 . I am glad you liked that dimension. I actually thought you had that in mind when writing.
🙂 I never know what is in my head 😀
I can relate to that 😀 😀
Hey we rhymed! 😀
😀
A beautiful construction of nature’s renewal and the promise of hope that comes with a new spring. Love this.
Thank you Eric. This is one of my favourites 🙂
I love the use of seasons in this one. Beautiful. I particularly like the line “winter will see you through”
Thank you Tosha. Yes, winter will see us through 🙂
