"Amid the jagged shadows of mossy leafless boughs; " Samuel Taylor Coleridge He dwells on the sound, of the leafless branches Describes the trees, admits the guiltless eye In conversation with frivolous jagged shadows His joys and sorrows with a true heart The tree and he, had already embraced each other In the winter when the stars shiver under the frost, the trees go to sleep Thin branches, like chalk white fingers point up into the air The passion that everyone feels drunk with but not so drunk that you drown With magical power and a warm soul Strange fluctuation of all natural things Branches encircled with a beard of moss a buzzing life of larvae where the birds can live without alms Before the happy days are lost in curly cold and heavy snow clouds ~ we seek the absolute truth - freedom to create your own opinions ~ 22/11/2019 Sun :) - A-L Andresen :) Copyright © All Rights Reserved Writing Challenge 3, November - Any Form Sponsor, Dear Heart - Wisshkobi Ode 2nd place in the contest
