light between shadows

arqios

 

The forest holds its breath,

light spills in fractured silence.

It does not choose where it falls—

limbs, leaves, forgotten paths,

all gilded in fleeting gold.

 

Between shadowed roots,

a moment unfurls—

untouched and transient.

Time presses softly here,

           and still,

                     it slips away.

    I can see it plain as day. A wonderous glimpse of golden rays setting through tree branches to a forest floor. This poem conveys a sense of peace and calm a feeling of warmth falling into shadow and the onset of the coming night. So well crafted Cryptic that it seems I was there. A fave
