Diaphanous

Sun cuts darkness with his sharp lance, 
Twilight covered in a diaphanous blanket is lifted.
Trees stand supine, breeze whispers through their leaves
Birds sing in chorus in rising and falling lilt

As sunbeams weave out a beautiful tapestry,
Shadows play hide and seek like little children.
Girdled by sand dunes, a lagoon sleeps
Under a turquoise sky, its teal blue waters,
Reflecting the sprawling azure blue canopy.
The world witnesses the marriage of blue and blue.

I absolutely love how youv personified so many elements in nature and how youv painted imagery throughout like an artist is just beyond me! Youv used so many poetic techniques and the flow is just seamless! I especially love the lines “ Shadows play hide and seek like little children. Girdled by sand dunes, a lagoon sleeps” something about the way this is written is just soul warming! Pleasure reading this gem! A new fave for me! Sending you light always 💫 🌙

This wonderful poem does a great job of describing the change from night to day, making nature come to life. The way you describe how sunlight cuts through darkness and how shadows and sunbeams interact is creative and moving. As sunbeams weave out a beautiful tapestry, Shadows play hide and seek like little children. The part about the lake being surrounded by sand dunes and a big blue sky really makes you feel calm and amazed.
