Cuttlebone and Cobwebs

Coy Sun

Coy Sun, teasing clouds into threads of opalescence

around her blushing form,

whilst adoring greenery awaits her tender smile

hushed from root to tip,

unresponsive to the temptress breeze

lest movement startle and so displease.

Patience, rewarded, feels the soothing touch

bring life to mere existence,

and the cool blue sky brightens as busied birds rejoice.

Flushed from tail to tip

Woodlands stretch, sway with the laughing breeze,

grasslands dance, waving welcome to the trees.
