Gathering Twigs

by Maple Tree   Mar 4, 2014


Gathering twigs along a brush
of mossy tears as wind gazers
pass me by,

I sigh,
in a summer heat
of dew drops and
passionate love
for nature,
bathing in memories
of scorching summer nights
as my river ripples softly
without me.

Often, I gather twigs
as my heart lays down
within an evergreen
sun stalker,

the lurking sunset
always finds me,

always....

    Lots and lots of nature in this one! ;)

    I always admire your talent at stringing words together to make them sound so interesting and unique!

    I feel the message of this poem is about the memories in life, the good and the bad, and sometimes although the darkness comes in and suffocates you, that sun will always be there in the end. It will always find a way to show you that there are good times still, good memoires, good things to hold on to, and look forward to.

    I like the creativity of the twigs, and how you introduced them in the title, and then throughout the poem.

    I like the relation tot he summer nights, somehow summer seems to lift any depression slightly, the nature becomes more alive, and we become more alive and hopeful I think.

    Nice work Maple.
