Constance La France Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

I, Fade

A menagerie of mockingbirds are singing a melody,
of imitated tweets and chirps, like ripples of a flute;
And I wander a forest lush green and hushed quiet,
the twilight allows only a pellucid of light to stream in;
and in my dream I am so broken and lost.

A bright vermilion rose entices me to touch it and smell,
the frangipani perfume, so sweet and succulent;
so beautiful and luscious to this lost beauty wandering,
and in my dream I hold it to infuse my broken heart;
then, using my ancestral power- I fade into foliage.
