Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

The Testaments

The Testaments

Behold, the essence of aubergine and a trail of sparkles yields the moment to radiant reds, like a breasted robin of autumns abandon legions in crumpled layers, impaled to moisten saffron petals and chartreuse fronds,

Strewn against a capricious path that points to a dusty field in white, ebbing the tides of a wintry breath, facing an arched hall of a supreme grandiose silken veiled sky,

It distributes elegance and beauty and cast it hither for its righteous placing, neath the surge of an ocher spread of sunflowers, that escort its mentored Sun,

Offering to surf a periwinkle wave, with broad sets of sprawls entertaining a receptive ivory sea of crested puffiness, wooing anointing doves to joyously immerse creation toward its pure dawning rise of scriptures souls.

Wow this is magnificent William! This beauty is going straight into my Faves! Your poetry makes my heart sing in operatic notes that reverberate in such divine vibrations that it connects me with heavenly realms. I am happy to see it honored in First Place and happy I didn't miss out on reading it. Congratulations my friend! : ) xxoo
