Blooming

* the watchful eyes of full moon flickers again, * an alchemy of cicada nights humming a mantra like a pastoral symphony -- -as if in a twirl of primal energy --- flock of herons, band of cattle, and grasses invite smokey dusk to recite her fables on morning dew and twilight passages chant after chant * and the trees bloom of a thousand foliage gracing the winds with such opulent swagger, that the living—absent from babbling language — sigh after sigh abandon its own movements to drift on greenery floating on anklet of sky hardly recognized , except for this rare instance: the dignity of darkness, the tiers of fragrance, and caresses of nocturnal beings gathering in warm oneness of silence, reverent as it were, upon • dew soaked in buoyant wonder..* the mind forgets to speak: the branches of a landscape pivot never knowing why in solace, the breath marries light II circle II after II circle.

This is traditionally known as a shape poem but it is accurately described as a concrete poem.With that being said,your imagery here is richly seasoned into a grand portrait.
