frozen by the morning's glow.
You won't record those
red-framed paintings made of
sun and glass.
Impermeable, you won't absorb
pure honey from those
amber leaves:
you'll let them flee your tired
stare; you'll hear them rustling like
a butterfly storm headed nowhere but
towards its own swift splendour
(or perhaps, the iris in my eye).
And all the while you'll smile
like ice, utter to withdraw,
and carry on your strenuous quest
for something
everbright.

It is hard to imagine someone who would not be moved by witnessing those beautiful, natural things you write so easily about.
First of all, thank you for your comment.
People like the one I described do exist, and this poem is about an acquaintance of mine.
"your strenuous quest / for something / everbright"
That line says so much, Anna. I do know that people like the one you described exist, but I feel sad for them. There is such sustenance to be received from ephemeral, subtle and natural beauty! You paint some lovely images with this poem. Too bad your acquaintace (and those like him or her) misses out on them.
Thank you so much for your kind comment, Moose!
I BET SOME PEOPLE ARE "IN A QUEST" FOR SOMETHING-- THEY FEEL THE VOID -- BUT HAVE NOT DEVELOPED THE ABILITY TO REALLY SEE.
YOUR CHOICE OF WORDS, THE INNER CADENCE.. THE MOMENT YOU CAPTURED WITH WORDS IS JUST BEAUIFUL.
Thank you so much, Nidia!
Last I visited your blog, I guess, an year back. And this poem reads like - I just picked the thread again. Wonderful Anna. :-)
Thank you so much, Dan! :)
