Glow

The glow of inspiration warms us; it is a holy rapture.

to swim through
translucent leaves -

whether or not fair
weather -

as a slim leaf glides free
within a curling

caress of another -
Ovid, in exile far

from Rome, notes
sun curling his parchment

marked with an opening line
about exile, holds heated

page before his gaze, then accepts
his true subject: self-

translucence

Beautiful colors! At first glance the leaf almost looks like a brilliant shell.

Anon, such a wonderful poem -- as always xxoo

Thank you, Katie, and welcome home! The leaf was so unusual the way it caught the light; I was at the right place at the right time with a camera.

Thank you, too, altadenahiker. It will be fun to see what images spring will present.
