Illustrious Gold

Dark grey clouds surround me

So dark they are almost black

I walk within a field of

Illustrious gold

 

I watch the wind

As it tries to grasp the wheat

In swirling dancing circles

So desperate to touch what is out of reach

 

I hear its mournful cry

Wailing for the lack of hands and fingers

That would allow a simple touch

A silken caress

 

The wheat bends and sways

With the unseen force

The heads smiling and teasing

Enjoying the clumsy embrace

 

I close my eyes

And open my ears

Letting nature’s music fill me

It permeates my heart and soul…

So much to learn when one opens their eyes by closing them.
This nature’s dance of grasp and desperation.
A cry, a wail, the simple touch of a force, unseen.
Heads smiling and teasing, in this clumsy embrace.
The embrace of dark on the golden sea.
With a song of soul, as the grass flows sweet.

And open my ears

Yet another hit, Tigra. Your writing reminds me a lot of mine. You look beyond what you see and express it as if your heart could vocalize. Very good job!

Your words have the same touch as my thoughts about beauty, about love within nature .. this is so beautifully expressed.

The poem reminds me of one of Van Gogh's early paintings .. the movement of the wheat or corn swaying with the breeze.

Superb, as always

Illustrious Gold is golden experience that captures perfectly that first scene from "Witness". You described the life of wheat to a tee.. Beautiful imagery thru out.... Luscious, T..
