Urban Ballet: Komorebi's Dance

Beneath the city's concrete awning, Sunlight pirouettes through the urban sprawl. A danseuse of shadows on an asphalt stage, Nature's pulsations thrum through it all. Skyscrapers, leviathan bellwethers, Forge an ersatz forest, soaring high-hearted. Yet, within the interstices, light clandestinely seeps, A palpitant echo of the limitless sky. Amidst the urban hustle, a delicate interlude, Komorebi, a tender kiss on the city's veins. A pause in the plangent urban resonation, Nature reclaims what the concrete constrains. Crystal leaves and chrome branches entwine, Casting intricate choreography on sidewalks below. Sunlight gavottes through the narrow openings, In the eurythmy of ebb and flow. Candescence alights in hidden sanctuary, Where sunbeams dance, and freedom finds liberty. Komorebi, a serene urban ballet, Nature handwrit in city's clamorous fray.

I knew instantly this would place highly - it's excellent and exciting to read. It took me many many months before I could write in a way that Craig didn't NA. He's so particular (in a nice way) - so congratulations on your very deserved podium place :)
