Felicity
Craggy, stone clad, and smooth topped mountains
Faceted amethyst, gleaned from the rough,
Trillionth cut diamonds, immeasurably
Shining with the brilliance of incandescent sun,
Blazing a trail for arbored glens, ice-laden caverns,
Deep sea excursions, clay-red banks,
Snow-capped mountains against stark blue heavens
Laden with unseen billions of stars!
Endless streams run unencumbered over stones,
Rock cliffs, flowered mounds,
Seeping through crevices florinated by nature’s whims.
A vast horizon, stretching beyond vision’s expanse,
Dipping slowly to tantalize the presence of celestial orbs,
Focusing attention on deep emotions,
Teeming, yet subdued in contemplation of
paroxysmal reaches.
c. by Lena Smith Carter--Poetic Universalisms I, 2006.
