Nature Saves the Day

"Just living is not enough. One must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower." Hans Christian Andersen NATURE SAVES THE DAY The raven splendor of the woods — fathomless birth of birds in song. I’ve lost myself. I’ve found silence of mortal vows - can do no wrong. Breathless the cadence of freedom — my feet wrapped in wondrous blisters. The bears tip their hats, admire me. Arcadian does are my sisters. Beautiful emerald green folk — the shadow’d forest canopy. My hair glistens after its soak — loud petrichor and dripping leaves. Thread of my dream like golden wings as my nightmare lays next to me — I tiptoe first steps into the dark. Scissors cut battered apron strings. Serenity’s gate on a horse. A salvaged heart awaits a prince. Sincere eyes ready for a bride. Thwarted thistles of providence. 3/1/2020 Writing Prompt - Ten Words Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Dear Heart Word List: thread, heart, silence, hair, beautiful, dark, green, birds, fathomless, breathless
