Beeshine in low croon

across mist light and meadow,

hare of earth, keen-eared and leery,

we watch, 

as the sun spreads sky 

over honeystems, cottonhearts,

the peace of dew, gentle 

morning, and I, perhaps,

the last woman.

 

The painting is called Meadow Flowers (Goldenrod and Wild Aster) by John Twachtman, c.1892.

This poem has such a soft and gentle flow Rachel, makes me think of peace and quiet in the early morning as the sun just starts to rise.

Beautifully done.

Jenny.

Thank you for this onemore - my favourite time, and you've recreated it in words

 

Submitted by onemorething on

Oh good! Yes, my favourite time too. I love the feeling of being entirely alone in the universe for an hour or so. :)

agree with Insert, this reminds me so much of when I used to walk at dawn, the feeling of being the only person and surrounded by glory

 

Submitted by onemorething on

I often walk at dawn so am glad it reminded you of that. Best time of day. :)

Sometimes I can be subtle...sometimes I prefer a hammer...

Every man wants her to be his first love, a woman is more subtle she wants to be his last.

Practical! Good luck for the last woman! Tom

Ha, I am only the last woman for a couple of hours, then back to the real world. Thank you for reading it. :)
