silver

slivers

of

effervescent 

shapes

slide

in

and

out

onto

metal

matter 

making

reflective

declarations 

some 

seen 

and

unseen

 

bursts 

of 

brilliance

dance

between 

branches

onto

babbling 

brooks

making

rocks’

starry

nooks

flash

for

your

cool

blue

iris

 

warm

glow

of 

your

white

window

sill

through

the

morning

frost 

sings

of

a

time

when

you

were

free
