Priestess of the emerald wood

Shrouded in nature’s mystery

Branches reach to seek and find

A gentle beauty, strong and free

Oracle of Life, divine
Ageless in her sunlit stance
Graceful limbs intertwined
Mesmerizing at a glance

Leaves of green do bow and sway

In rhythmic symmetry

She breathes her soul into the day

With the beautiful splendor of a tree

Night appears and chases day

Stands to watch the starlight play

Noticing one that outshines the rest

Reflecting, a glow, upon her chest

Wraps her in stardust, ever true

She watches, as mountains fade from view

No longer does the sun remain

Darkness, once again, shall reign

As she blends in with the midnight sky

And stars gently twinkle, before they die

For she is the one who chased away light

Beauty now gone, from her blinded sight

Once she was a beacon, to shine the way

Now, in the dark, filled with dismay

Hoping one day, she will shine, again

She can only wait, for she knows not when

What lies in wait, ethereal, shimmers

That send chills up and down your spine

Masked by sunlight’s colorful prism

She blends with the tree, so divine

Moving about, in perfect symmetry

Each thread, woven with expertise

A spinneret, is all she requires

As she patiently waits, by the trees

To capture that which she can enjoy

Poor moth, his death is most certain

By the simple thread of a spider’s trap

On his life, she has closed the curtain

Calling all Creative Minds/Poets/Artists to a poetic collaboration – “Once more”


Rays of sunlight
Kiss the mountains below
Spring says, “Follow me”
Has summer, in tow

Warmer days ahead
Once more, we sigh
As the season changes
In the blink of an eye

Black in light
No color in sight
Sunlight turns to gray

Darkness bites
The spectrum fights
Say goodbye to another day

Sky of night
No longer bright
Its lantern gone astray

Til ebon takes flight
And morn wakes with delight
Casting the darkness away
