BENEATH THE ARCH

nephilim56 ( Norman Dickson)

Beneath the arch
Of sheltering trees
Amidst the lilac
Scented breeze
The trickling sunlight
Rain now paused
Single droplets
From leaves fall.

The aching bones
Of previous night
Bathed in silver
Moonlight bright
Seem to linger
In memorys tray
Invading thought
Upon this day.

The wanton moment
Lost to life
Time a dance
To relight
My footsteps upon
A well worn path
In solitude
To gently pass.

    Norman, โ€œsingle droplets / from leaves fallโ€ immediately pulled me into the scene. That quiet detail makes the whole poem breathe naturallyโ€ฆthe world feels still, damp, and reflective all at once. Beautiful imagery throughout, my friend. ๐ŸŒน๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ๐Ÿฆโ€โฌ›
