resonant ice trails and iridescent wave forms
there is light coming through
the clearing of the trees
signaling a harbinger of some sort
worthy of pursuing
nearby river flows slowly
as local stream remains silent
life forces beneath the surface
struggling to be noticed
diving deeper into the woods
a peacefulness transpires
while high above the treeline
raptors survey the surroundings
stealthily tracking your every footfall
february two thousand nineteen

Thank you, Devika 🙏
Always, a pleasure
“life forces beneath the surface
struggling to be noticed”
Yes, yes I am!
Ok, now seriously i love how this starts leaving one questioning where it is going, promises peace and then snatches it away.
Thank you, Melanie.
