Leonine

Listen to poem:

While looking up into the blackness; past this now leafless canopy Fires are simply burning; within their own realms of infinity Wonderous twinkling is intertwined in the branches repeatedly It is hard to believe this basic beauty gave spawn to humanity Gifts from a crescent saw of lit reflection; drops in stillness, from the tree Ignition, found that, warmth is a life-long present; fate gave inside of thee Stars are everywhere, not just in the dark heavens; of which we can plainly see In endless cliches of sticks and stones; none can break the leonine inside of me

This is inspirational, and I truly enjoyed it. I liked the part about Nature giving birth to Humanity...breathtaking!

Was a wonderful clear evening last night when I wrote this. Standing underneath the baron ash tree in my backyard, looking at the stars and the Moon. It was a good night for a monorhyme ;) A.S.
