words
fall
lightly
down the page
unravelling letters
leaves in autumn floating from trees
discarding a season to gather sadly in piles
collecting memory dank with must yet imagining summer longing for those past
tangled branches that held the enriching sap of trees
their ringed journeys & spectacle
nature's history
withering
archive
earth
where
I
rake
the wrack
of winter's
realisation
mulch hopeful plants I nurture like
yesterday's children shaping new narratives I lift
bent stems from the ground & stake bruised life optimistic about survival signalling
a revival reimagined that writes poetry
the colour of brilliant spring flowers
a canvas of blooms
an opus
into
which
I
breathe
art
vigour
fantasy
& reminiscence
weaving the rich fibre of love
as design drips metaphor across the painted scene
dream its medium invisible horizon beyond hills suns setting promise dawns
for everything I can imagine is real
in my wild reconsecration
imagination
tangible
lightly
words
fall
