Gold cherry

Above rustling leaves

on a hillside trail

the wind is a vagabond

of change;

 

It begins to rain

and wind a task-master

as moisture arrives

on land now surrounded

by water of goodwill-

 

soon to be - golden grain

to come forth

from sunny days

free of clouds in whiskers

of grey - blown away

 

and loosened leaves

bring their song

of Spring

settling in for Summer’s

breath of peace

and plentiful crops.

I love the idea of the wind as a vagabond of change and the water of goodwill. Some lovely images. Rachel :)

Thank you for kindness in your words "OneMoreThing"  I thoroughly enjoyed how this poem came together. It took approximately ten hours in the thinking and contemplation of it, from start to finish.I mention this for those beginning to get the urge to write anything - pray for a great idea and its structure.Then allow your heart and fingers to do the rest, in the absolute and best way you can.

This lovely poem brings us the restless movement of wind that carries hope in its path and is the Pick of the Day. Please share on Facebook and Twitter if you like it too.

SO pleased to receive the "golden cherries" and especially "pick of the day" and the pictorial is fine. Thank you so much everyone for reading and enjoying my work. Yes, I also.placed it on Facebook. I don't know how to place it on Twitter and if someone wishes to give it a try, go fo it. One day I would like  to have one or more poetry books printed by a commercial print publisher.
