~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Caressing each leaf, gentle as the smile, so peaceful, serenity Stirring wonders, blessed by sunlight’s glow, Burning away the shadows, shimmering, reflecting All the joy that comes to hearts who know the intensity of this glimpse into the radiance penetrating the timeless beauty, cool, crisp oaks – maples and laurels, silent as daybreak and just as calm as the feathery gaze that comes to life, between yesterday and tomorrow, the feelings so wispy – yet tempting, persuading the soul to listen, beneath the boughs, where leaves stir, dancing quietly – intent on breathing, just a kiss, mingled with daybreak, rising from the ashes of a magnificent hope, a joy, relishing the careful caress of a nimble sun, beckoning still and easy, yet turning away the ghosts, dusk releases her spirit on the revelation of a feeling, blended in bitter echoes, turning away fear, remembering to bleed light through every flicker, playing through the twigs and stems, dreaming - the subtle truth lies in the hazy shift of crisp light, falling softly among the hearty limbs, sunlight revealing all the wonder of hushed leaves, as it burns away the silhouettes of sorrow, the gloom that rides dark fears and spins the softest tears.

Such gorgeous imagery, and your word weaving fits the theme of the prompt word too! Especially love “remembering to bleed light through every flicker, playing through the twigs and stems, dreaming “How beautiful is this! And moving! Always love reading your work: goodluck in the contest

I could feel the sunlight filtering through the trees, the Komorebi, in your poem. Komorebi does burn away the 'sihouettes of sorrow.' That's a beautiful line. In fact, each line has its own beauty. I felt subtly drawn to your words. Excellent job, Gina. hugs, Sara

I do not know the meaning of the word Komorebi yet, but I suppose it's a beautiful word just from how you wrote this poem. I bet you really did it justice, Gina. Thanks for sharing this.
