Full Spate
As maturity ages and
the nearer I come to my final
breath the brighter
looks ripening understanding
and fiercer tumbles
wonder full spate on water
bleached to more silver
than I can remember seeing.
Louder each feathered song,
intenser the silence
before gale lashes sea-scape,
bluer the sky and longer
the sun takes to capitulate
before moon rises,
more vivid each floral bloom,
sooner seems seasonal
change, hues extra beautiful,
keener my fascination
with variety Nature achieves.
Just being alive is enough if zest
lights my day for when
closer draws endings so greater
the need to peer again
and hear how earth's ready music
excitingly vibrates

the first deep breath I take after reading one of your nature poems, is some of the sweetest I shall ever taste:
'more vivid each floral bloom,
sooner seems seasonal
change, hues extra beautiful,'
You are more than kind L.B. in your visits to read my efforts and thank you so much - am really pleased too that you enjoyed Full Spate.

Good write Fay.
Thank you dear Orchi.
Oh Fay, what a beauty you have penned here. All in their later years will feel your words and know.
As a poet you know what that means, for in the heart of a poet is the desire to pass on our emotion to our reader, to give something. You truly have done that in depth here.
Fav's of course.
Delighted and grateful you listed Full Spate in your faves D.A. - - it was quite a while being half-finished and was relieved to bring it's main theme to an end. Glad you were able to relate to its message my friend.
It certainly is true," the nearer" we "come" the more intense each day becomes. Just beautiful words Fay. beautiful. - Phil A.
Too true Phil - our days being numbered offer us much should we look at earth's beauty and keep positive - - so very pleased you noted the word "intense" as meaningful the more we mature................ sending you bundles of thanks for your comment.

Yes a fine comparison is a stream to our outlook on life when maturity moves at full spate - - - when time becomes seen as limited days are numbered and if we are wise we feel more intensely earth's gifts of beauty. Sending you thank yous for your continued support of my work.
What a wonderful write Fay. In my maturing years I look upon each day with wonder and always look forward to the next one.
Andy
