Tonight we'll cross butterfly bridge

higher than the moon itself in spring,

for it's where crocuses spreading out

stand silently waiting for early morn,

 

crystal energy of water so deep below,

reflecting our silhouettes like dark claws

that reach out in haze of moonlight...a river

guarded by weeping willows on embankment,

 

earthy fragrances captured below beds of moss,

tongues of mushrooms hold fast to stumps of

rotting bark, while all around inaudible sounds

of nature returning, sending messages bequeathed.

 

When daffodils have fallen and storms have died,

those delicate traces of summer, leave us to muse

on dreams of buzz and fluttering wings...that secret

place where only the imaginative people dare to go.

Seems a mixture of winter dreaming with all sorts of memories of the senses' delights in spring and summer scenes. I like your noticing of  earthy fragrances captured below beds of moss, tongues of mushrooms hold fast to stumps of rotting bark and the listening to the little sounds around you.

A lovely poem Jenny, so full of beautiful lines that I'd be hard pressed to pick a few. I love the combination of fantasy and all the things we hope for in Spring. :)

It's a Magical place this butterfly bridge and I'd love to walk over it too. Such perfect phrasing, every element lights up with your words. I loved where this took me, into a world of pure imagination. Thanks for sharing this beautiful work. It was well worthy of those golden cherries.smiley

Hi Penny,

your words are so kind. To know that I've worded and phrased it in such a way that it lights up a scene, is more than I could have wished for.

Thank you so much for reading and your beautiful comment.

Jenny.
