Nette Onclaud Poet Rhyme

Into Woodland's Arms

As brushstrokes of  wood’s  tint  start to alight
I drift through its edge in the  gold of night,
Vibrant a cape rustling  blooms on  the hills
In a grandeur  which mystifies and spills
An assemblage  of heathers, grass that lay--
Much like jewels under moonshine’s display
That fireflies reel  as if  waking this space
Pursuing lost hope , its desired embrace:


Here my  dream , now lonely , flows out to meet
Trances from past autumn’s love quite complete:

Beneath wind’s fragrance  coasting near the shore,
I watch a sketch looming  on forest- floor--
My dear man returns on this very spot
Enduring tough waves from a mangled yacht...
His  blink humming about our woodland charms
In our grove, we fold upon eager arms.
