Temperate Reverie…



The optimum daylight hours of summer
Flowers salsa on unexpected nor'easter
Including one and all
Ahead of the reducing sun
Take to the air, soar tiny wings
Reminiscent of love that by no means fall short
Darkness starts to arouse
To a chorus line that is the hours of darkness
A leaping insect jumps, unhurriedly
Song birds shrieks, near to the ground
Stand out, excel crimson moon
Till very last you grow fainter from view
Have the sense of hearing the ocean in cry
Where the Hirundinidae engage in recreation and expire
Starlight in the miasma
Shine unsteadily Lampyridae, alight
Continue, stay temperate reverie
Underneath the tallow in the heavens

Diane JacksonBaul

I use poetry to release my inner most deep feelings. Poetry is my outlet to all. Its my therapy, for all that I have gone through and gonna go through.. A place where I'm able to say what I want. Whether criticized or agreed upon. Somewhere I can totally let down my hair. Think as I wish, Think as I can. Somewhere i can be me, and not care who knows, or sees me. No judgement, complete freedom to be me. more…
