Bend Over Me

Bend over me, autumn willow, wrapping me in solitude's soft shawl; listening to the breezes' sighing saunter, swirling close-stitched leaves, a gentle singing up and down your golden cords; saturate my soul, ripened sweetness, with harvest's dusky, mellow fruit. Cradle me, womb of silence, until the angry, bitter world ceases speech. Copyright, August 8,2014 Faye Lanham Gibson

Wonderful alliteration! With adjectives like 'mellow' and 'bitter' and 'ripened' really bring the sense of taste alive in this poem.
