Shadowleaf
written by: Rhaster
@RHaster
An instant I floated by
released by my bearing tree
time
asked me to come
-and leave-
catched me in the palms of wind
the whirling existence changed
as time
flows and flows and always again
finds its ground and earth
Where I meet the water outside
far from branch and trunk
I see myself a shadow leaf
in wrinkels aging light
and Narcissus’ bright brown locks
-I’m not able to see
The clear-sighted stream
streams me to breath
as I gave you a season air
-I still catch the sun!-
the welcome departure is
heartily warm
even when you –as time will tell-
will forget my green
An instant
I floated by
and you
set eyes on me,
NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR:
The picture I wrote this poem on, is a photo made by GilenLinn @GilenLinn.
I'm a Dutch poet (and an actuary) who once in a while tries to write poetry in English.
I love writing next to pictures of art.
And to stimulate the experience of thinking further....Great
