A Rusty Screen
Ethereal rays of light
dilute darkness into grey.
Ebony no longer shrouds night;
only shadows defy day.
A spiderweb casts a hue
of iridescent flashes.
And the morning mist drips dew;
in intermittent splashes.
Dawn splits reality's realm
into scenes rivaling dreams.
Where songbirds sing in the elm,
and sunbeams gild golden streams.
Dragonflies and bumblebees
flex crackled cellophane wings.
And the sun warms every breeze,
smug with the heat that it brings.
Slivers of light pierce my eye;
shining through a rusty screen.
And rustling leaves flutter high
in a canopy of green.
