Montage of a Tree

Tonight, a montage is brushed with a splendor
of glazed branches : an arrangement of russet
teal and orange; dappled wisps enticing
my spirit for a pilgrim beyond my own angst.

In pure delight, tendrils of leaves are aflame
through the glory of a varnished summer.
Feathery rims unfurl in dotted patterns
adorning a cherry tree with iridescent flush
as its arms seem to layout
the stencils of  hours' burdens.

Yet, miniature stars flicker on its robe
this cherry timber blowing heavenward,
perhaps content in the radiance
of its caressed blooms and harvest,
glazed by rapture of nature's lasting charm .

Congratulations Nette: You have painted an enchanting picture of a tree. Love the imagery. I can't wait for our summer growth to come back. The winter branches are interesting but there is nothing like lush green leaves. Hugs, SuZ
