Elemental

August 3, 2019·the forest & the chair

Two eyes drink fire in flight;
darkness silhouettes the sun.
Soft lights take form in sight;
shadows shift and spirits run.

A vacuous haze hails winds,
winding wisps of cloud;
swirls cast forth and send
umbras under a heated shroud.

Air descends as hackles rise,
ensnaring crackling firelight.
A raven swoops away and cries;
horizons shift into the night.

Tranquil sounds — and all is calm.
Streams slide beside the stones;
breezes whistle through the palms;
light diffuses to washed-out tones.
