Tall shadows casting without sunset
Rays walk in graceful paces. Crowds of
Seedlings birthing faces in shades of
Nature's colourful characters, twisting
Brunette ringlets and silken syrup hair.
Red layers flickering in dusty plains with
Every turning head, dancing next to
Shimmering onyx waves slipping under
Sharp and shapely shoulders, close
To those of time and stone watching in
Restless silence.
Wistful winds curling over familiar skin,
A delicate comfort of unspoken company.
Guiding growing trees of children -
Uprooting new pastures, wrenching free
Limbs of unspooling knowledge. Beating
Rhythms of elegant showmanship,
Sweeping balancing threads of life
Striding into valid wakefulness, beneath
Haunting tiresome breaths.
Cerulean droplets elegantly arcing,
Whisked and whipped by air, foaming
Waterfalls flowing ceaselessly, in
Reflection of human expression,
Looming in watchful drifts of aura
Spun cloth, silhouettes cloaked and
Lingering upon every clawed overlook.
Mountain mists of perspiring haze
Blending into plumes of smoke, breathing
Industry into metal columns of angular
Bones. Dusk brewing devilish deals of
Underwhelming avenues, shrouding
Gilded gates and peaceful cobbles.
Where guardians of slinking robes parade
Unseen, wending through a past of fruitful
Maturing, and into an unfurling present
Moment, left to stray with narrow eyes
Into an unyielding future flood, of eternal
Timely reapers.
