Chartreuse and Shadows











Lilting lilac laughs and peppers down
Her golden morsels, feeding upturned faces,
Fresh and frothy, Peeking through the
Melting mists of nature’s chilly robe.

Morning shadows shiver and slide
Beneath the mossy mirth,
As chartreuse shines and shimmers,
Kissing the golden droplets.

Delicious, dancing pulses beat
To move my slippered toes
And tread among the mist-kissed
Chutes unfurling to nature’s song.

Ah, no, a dream, perhaps a promise,
That wakens in the dark as
Midnight’s
Chilly curtain draws itself away, revealing
Icy fingers to clutch another day.
