The Castle Suspended by String

The Castle Suspended by String

A Poem by SheActsLikeSummer
"

I live in a castle...

"
I live in a castle
that's suspended by string
high above the clouds
It passes  over crystalline lakes
a reflection distorted and rippled
between a mass of lilies
Ground dappled with red and orange
bare branches reaching into the night
to pluck the shining stars
Flowers wilt on dying grass
lightning flashes, thunder booms
and rain stirs the mud
Sun beams on thriving earth
blooming flowers dot the valley
like splattered paint on a blank canvas
I live in a castles
that floats on the sky
and listens to the wind

Thank you for the suggestions!
Such a powerful and vivid opener. I love the close by return at the end of the piece, the true sign of a craftsman. I love the way everything flows so nicely, brillant piece.
