A Feather In the Forest

Leaving my son's house, a rain-burst had just passed.

At the edge of the wood, contrasted against dark clouds,
A single tree stood glowing.

Wet in the sun’s rays, its leaves shimmering in the breeze.
A feather in the forest glowing,
Singly.

Brightly shining yellow green,
A cottonwood applauds the coming of the rains.
Waving glimmering in rain rays, wet enlightening.
Reminding me to dance in the sun.

Kevin.. Tonight, the mountain sky is clear. In a few hours the stars will tease me with their winks. The twilight is for your poem, and it's as enjoyable as the coming sunset!
