I refer
to waterfall music
a far distance from
time’s corridor
seeking secrets of forest lore
sung with gentle notes upon
the lyre.
The wayward, woodland
creatures walk
in scattered circles by
and the trees sing
of eclipsing magic
once upon
a brazen summer solstice.
Oh, verdant measure
the essence of the forest
and petite worlds
abuzz
in the midnight hour.
❤ ❤ ❤
Thank you so much!
Very beautiful poem! Such a delight to read, Lana. 🌹 🙂
Thank you so much, Iris!
very nice! 🙂
Thanks Jim!
This is lovely, Lana — very picturesque!
Thanks so much, Debbie!
I’d say that’s a pretty great definition!
Thank you, Marissa!
Ultimate magic.:)
Thank you so much!
There is a lovely mystery and magic in here. The captured heights of summer….. <3
Thank you Pauline, I do love summer!
And it never hurts to have a touch of Clapton’s magic either 🙂
Oh absolutely not 😀
Beautiful! The picture reminds me of magical fireflies, glowing pink and lavender and teal instead of yellow and orange. Loved “brazen summer solstice” and “petite worlds abuzz in the midnight hour” like audaciously long days followed by the tiny unknown inhabitants of the night shift (which I was, for a long time). Time for the days to start getting shorter… Well done! 🙂
Thank you, Joan. I like the image of the fairies filling the night shift. I wish there were tiny, magical worlds where we could escape to from time to time. I love the long days of summer so they can just stick around for awhile 😀
Reblogged this on John Cowgill's Literature Site.
Magical indeed, Lana. Lovely poem. <3
Thanks Diana!
beautiful Lana, I enjoyed this one too. Thank you!
Very welcome, thank you so much!
A magical, lyrical poem, Lana…I love the start of ‘I refer’!😃
I love summer so much. I was envisioning A Midsummer Night’s Dream. You can never go wrong with Shakespeare for inspiration 😀
The magic of a summer night captured in elegant and musical verse. Thank you for this inspiring moment!
Thank you so much, Paul for reading and for your very gracious compliment 😀
Very beautiful, Lana! Reminds me of Yeats and Shakespeare… – which are my favorites 🙂
Oh my, thank you. Ah, those two, my favorites also. I could read their work for probably the rest of my life and never really want to read anything else! 😀
Exactly my thoughts too!!! 😀
