Strikethrough #28

Created Sun Nov 01 2020

I.
Air and sky are swathed in gold
 
Fold on fold,
 
Light glows through the trees like wine.
 
Earth, sun-quickened, swoons for bliss
 
'Neath his kiss,
 
Breathless in a trance divine.
 
Nature pauses from her task,
 
Just to bask
 
In these lull'd transfigured hours.
 
The green leaf nor stays nor goes,
 
But it grows
 
Royaler than mid-June's flowers.
 
II.
Air and sky are swathed in gold
 
Fold on fold,
 
Light glows through the trees like wine.
 
Earth, sun-quickened, swoons for bliss
 
'Neath his kiss,
 
Breathless in a trance divine.
 
 
Nature pauses from her task,
 
Just to bask
 
In these lull'd transfigured hours.
 
The green leaf nor stays nor goes,
 
But it grows
 
Royaler than mid-June's flowers.
 
omit sun kissed
 
omit branching
insert swells
 
omit heavens
 
insert routine configuration
 
 
omit the hour before midnight
 
 
 
III.
Air and sky are swathed
Fold on fold,
 
Light glows like wine.
 
Earth, sun-quickened, swoons
'Neath his kiss,
 
Breathless in a trance
 
Nature pauses
Just to bask
 
In these lull'd transfigured hours.
 
The green leaf
But it grows
 
Royaler than mid-June's flowers.
 
IV.
Air and sky are swathed
Fold on fold,
 
Light glows like wine.
 
Earth, sun-quickened, swoons
'Neath his kiss,
 
Breathless in a trance
 
 
Nature pauses
Just to bask
 
In these lull'd transfigured hours.
 
The green leaf
But it grows
 
Royaler than mid-June's flowers.
 
 
 
omit slippery hand
 
 
insert swirling downward
 
 
 
 
 
 
omit prickly petals
 
V.
Air and sky are swathed
Fold on fold,
Light glows
Earth, sun-quickened, swoons
'Neath his kiss,
Breathless
 
Nature pauses
Just to bask
In these lull'd transfigured hours.
The green leaf
But it grows
