Writer’s Canopy<br />

Alas stagnant and unyielding<br />

towering walls entrapped me— suffocating buds of writing<br />

until debris of doubt spread tainted seed.<br />

A walk, a venture, a change by the unknown<br />

granted me inspiration to write Nature’s ode.<br />

Within a gazebo—my window—<br />

decadent and fruitful, life began to breathe<br />

unharnessed, unabashed, easier than perceived.<br />

Creatures frolicked, unconcerned for watcher’s eyes<br />

Jubilation, not pride, gifted them purpose in life.<br />

My twisted grove of emerald veil fair<br />

cradling the wooden bridge and whimsical child-marked stairs,<br />

for you my hand embraces a gold, enamored pen.<br />

For you, dear friend,<br />

liquid onyx paints the page in poetic calligraphy.<br />

Within this glade of waving trees and silken dreams,<br />

sands warm sandal-covered feet and naive giggles,<br />

like succulent, honeyed streams,<br />

melt among the warm incantations<br />

of chortling doves and sweet chickadees.<br />
