“light’s linger-lapse of time”   

         by MarciaMarcia    (ip)

 

summered sensuous flora found 

hold bough laden scents abound 

in dappled sun warmed shades

a-blaze the day’s long drifting sway

in breezed light’s linger-lapse  of time ...held cast...make way

for leaf and petaled flower 

turned autumnal coda color

hued in purple-pink, cranberry blues to yellow greens at morning’s dew

while gingered orange glow transforms to ruby’s fired light

as sudden chilled October’s dawn

betrays each petal leaf at play

releasing hold they float beyond

in sway and swirling dance  

bound for where they next will lite

a-slumber....on their bed of night

I liked the tumbling hues you've brought in, and the idea of 'linger-lapse of time'. And the 'sudden chilled October’s dawn' of which we have had a few tastes already. Evocative and concentrated. Rhiannon

I like your dreamy rhythm very much. The "linger-lapse" is so beautiful, makes me think of  leaf shadows and sunlight moving on the ground.
