ladders to the sky
a blue jay’s piercing cry
the robin’s egg cupping blue
a tipsy moth’s free flight
the morning glory’s climb
out of the dark night
an acorn realizing it’s an oak
puffing sails that lean
into a swelling sea
island bells that chime
on a soft summer breeze
a firefly pulsing star light
stars pulsing fire light
a lovers’ kiss as they meld into one
the last glance of day
towards a blushing sun

Delightful metaphor (tipsy moth…) in this very readable piece. Greatly enjoyed thank you.
Thank you Mike. Glad you enjoyed it!
It’s a lovely poem with such good imagery. Maybe I can re blog it?

Lovely…I like the cycle of time through the day in each stanza, beginning with morning: ” the Morning Glory’s climb out of the dark night.” Oh, and “the robin’s egg cupping blue,” such a beautiful images throughout.
Thanks Cynthia 🙂 Happy you enjoyed it and grateful for your saying so!
oops…I meant to say “such beautiful images throughout.”

This is a lovely poem from another nature and art blog. I love the ‘tipsy moth’ from A woodlandrose blog.
