A Trick Of The Light
The early November sunshine cast golden rays
liquid yellow, pooling on the ruffled white sheets
white mountain tops of my memories, illuminated
I am caught in the moment, tangled in the threads
of another autumn, and ghosts of then burst forth
like maple leaves, red, orange, yellow and beautiful
I watch as the light shifts, and the spell, it is broken
the long gone days, retreating, as if blown by the wind
leaves are falling again, the unsought magic is dissolving
and I am here, and it is now, and the snow covered peaks
are once again, just sheets on the bed that I'm about to make

The soul of a poet can see so much deeper than her eyes could ever reveal as your wonderful piece can attest. Wonderful job this week.
Very vivid and creative! A fall day in your bedroom!
Oh, the concrete images, the colors! You painted a beautiful picture with words - "...liquid yellow, pooling on the ruffled white sheets..." The symbolism is strong "...caught in the moment, tangled in the threads..."
This is wonderful..........cj
I wish you could see the dreamy look on my face. I read this several times, and then out loud.
Absolutely wonderful.
