[hometext] => sat outside in the fading light-this came to me.
[bodytext] => I am sitting on the deck Waiting for the sky to fully ripen The luscious fruit of darkness. The air is warm and heavily infused with elderflower And the sweet scent of an English rose. Outside on the road a car passes slowly, respectfully, As if the driver can read every word of every stanza That flows across the blank page of my mind. The car is gone and the final fragments of light, Heavy with silence, capture the birds in the aviary, Their soft feathers and delicate faces Cast out in a monochrome of shadows. And still the sky hangs heavy with unripened fruit, The horizon stenciled with storm clouds From where something deeper, something more enticing Is emerging, a slow determined shadow Is crossing the mountains on the moon. And then a slow breeze unfolds in the sultry air And the moment is upon me When the sky's fruit peels away the outer husks of light And with a determined push opens the deep berry Sweet mouthful of darkness. At last the final word of the final stanza Flows in a quickening rhythm across the page of my mind. Going, at last, from blank to full.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
