Notes About The Poem

Dust In the Sun

Sunlight dazzles the branches Sifting through the naked limbs Where there were once green leaves Swapped for mahogany and red ~ The sun twists through the boughs Drizzling along the dusty ground Where dead leaves crunch, chewing At the edges of a passerby’s boots ~ Dust glitters in the fierce sunlight Creating rays of haphazard brilliance That a child could catch with a hand Touching the sweet, soft kiss of beams ~ A flicker of the golden dream whispers Falls along the edge of the dirt road Causing the cars dust to flicker, glimmer With a sensation of waves to behold ~ The sunshine travels across the distance Toward a land that has longed for its touch Simply adoring the feel of warm twinkles That resemble a stroke of love from above

Lovely fall imagery. Who doesn't love a brisk walk through the leaves. Have a great day.
