Wordsmiths In the Woods
~Once upon a rhyme, many years ago~
a charm of wordsmiths gathered on an emerald mountain
took dreamy strolls on piney paths along its golden crown
dipped their wits and winsome in a pastel painted lake
while sun and shadow played a game of time charades.
The moon unchained a spray of applauding stars
from the muses hearts the gemstones gently flowed
like a rush of songs from a bevy of meadowlark
Shakespeare's ghost stirring just beyond the glow.
All the while the old poetess listened quietly
her novella etched in the eyes and beech bark hands
seeing things the green sprigs would never see
her cane tapping stardust into an empty hourglass...
The coals slipping silently into quiet blush
as sonnets wove seamlessly upon a quilted brush.
A ruby throated angel fanning poetic vows
sealing us to our muse in a jaded stand of boughs..
We bid farewell and made promises we'd never keep.
carving weighted hearts into the shag bark of memory.
