Idyllic

Written: July 26, 2025, for contest Sponsored by: Constance La France Quote: "Be like the sun for grace and mercy. Be like the night to cover others' faults." by Rumi **************** The oak tree is lit up with spots of light, Leaves bend and spin in a zephyr cloak sprite. My head is full of hope-related views, A hushed cobalt lake has stone toes in hues. Sun shines brightly through rods of flaxen flame, A buzz surrounds—no day's inklings will maim. I grasp long-buried schemes from this staid trunk, And draw the seams of broken dreams in bunk. A bird's wings are knotted as it flies low, Swans soar on a green world lit by pearl glow.
