I ... entered the poem of life, whose purpose is ... simply to witness the beauties of the world, to discover the many forms that love can take. (Barabara Blackman in 'Glass After Glass')

Stillness, Late Winter

Leaves 
against blue sky
my eye drawn up
the lightest breeze

on the vines
orange flowers
honey-laden
sunlight touches grass


Submitted for Poets United's Verse First — The Red Wheelbarrow. Assignment: an eight-line poem of complex simplicity. (Hard to do as well as William Carlos Williams did!)

    The message for me from this poem is.....no matter what season of the year, no matter what is happening in life, sunlight manages to reach us!!
