Glass Forest
Glass Forest
Edward Clay
Winter 1993
The translucent glass forest
of rainbow, hued growths
through which my mind wanders,
Is bathed in filtered sunlight
making its way through
in colors
too numerous to discern.
As my spirit travels
through this cathedral like place
on paths only I know,
Puzzling if the life here
shares the wondrous quality
in showing the sun’s light
in permanent rainbows
of color and beauty.
As night falls
this magical place,
Having captured the sun’s light
Holds it
slows its fading, somehow,
Passes it from one growth to another
glimmering through out the night
in softened values.
Wind moves the trees.
Cascades of crystal like sounds
fill my senses
soothe my spirit,
Filling my very soul with what it must have
to continue to create
the beauty of poetry,
Thus renewing
the well spring that is me.
