poem written based upon this painting by 'Ariana' at pinterest.com
Beneath a turquoise canopy, the forest breathes in shades of blue no daylight ever discerns~ a dream-lit hush where stars slip through the leaves like silver secrets drifting into ferns. The water shimmers, holding sky and shadow both, a mirror tuned to quiet, ancient things. Above it hovers — feathered myth, untamed oath ~ a multi-colored cardinal with lantern wings. It circles once, as if to bless the night, then scatters glints of starlight as it turns~ a small, impossible guardian of light whose presence makes the whole blue forest yearn.
