Nature Nurturing Dreams

A blithe jaunt through the fawning meadow Cerebral dance an eloping trance doth swallow Glinting sun shrouds head with cherubic halo Swirling amber blades my shorn ankles furrow Mercurial melange of colorful flowers footsteps shadow Chortling wind serenades through lisping willow A chorus of song birds the woody fringes mellow Suddenly, from green coiffed strands into barren fields fallow Bristling thorns, spiny thistles each footstep doth harrow Melodic aviary morphs into a shrieking cacophonous bellow Soothing breeze warps; its shrill noose exposed neck gallows Day's enchanting dream a recurring nightmare doth follow Enraptured circuits fade into shrunken recesses of bleary hollow Gilded streams of light a dark, vapid hole doth borrow The enameled threads of nature my tortured conscience doth sallow The antediluvian dreamscape a charade to shield tomorrows The apocalyptic horror scope to sculpt past sorrows September 24, 2012
