This is a painting of an orchard embraced by soundless starlight-fall, hushing its buzzing thrill with glowing twilight of sky’s dome. What a beautiful description. I love each line and each image that comes to mind as I read. You must be musical because you have a natural rhythm and wholeness in your writing (using image, sound, light, form, and the olfactory emotions- enticing all the senses of the reader).

I love the imagery and the metaphors used. You command the language to obey the emotional presence very well, with clever use of poetic devices. The soundless state is woven throughout the poem, very subtle, disturbed by only gentle “eyelash wings’” flutter. I love the title and the fall of sunlight into the eternal night, without a sigh or resistance. My mind can also interpret the “woodland halls” as even coffins (I had the same feeling when I wrote about the pictures, in my own poem- as once I’ve read it many times, the wooden shelves and the wooden frames started resembling like so, although it wasn’t intended when I wrote it). I love the “dewdrops clinging”, again very much, and it almost makes me feel the morning freshens, when everything is so crystalline upon waking – a brand new beginning. <br /><br />The second stanza feels like separation from the earthly embodiment and senses, the detachment from the form, as it is possible that a form only has meaning when one is embodied within a form. <br /><br />The third stanza, impeccable as it is, calling for a new life, an aerial one, perhaps, and I love the, “a courage swells for what may come”. The will remains behind and the soul just lets go, like the Rilke’s poem, “The Swan”.<br /><br />You are an amazing poet. I am so lucky to have come your way.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3394907635107500084.post-63115002802835224182015-06-21T15:48:29.417-04:002015-06-21T15:48:29.417-04:00I love the airy feeling of the poem as every mood ...I love the airy feeling of the poem as every mood is happening in the air. I feel the breeze, laden with thoughts and music, combing through the wheatfield and billowing upwards into the ether. I love nature poems and I wish I was more versed in this. I used to write about nature at the beginning but somehow I end up on a different track now.

I really struggle with time because I work full time and also publish on allpoetry.com- I publish the same poems I then add to my blog (not sure if you have used it or have and active account- it is good as you comment on each other’s poems). Thank you for your kind comments. I am still learning (especially on Allpoetry)I will come back this weekend. I was surprised you have no comments since your poetry streams straight into one’s heart. Lovely imagery and emotional language.
