How Sweet It Is

How sweet is the perception of a new natural fact! - Thoreau

under a lemonade sun

beneath a licorice parasol

i want to wander through candy corn fields

basking in a confection of sugary innocence

tasting cloying glory

a place where all fingers shine with diamond rings

as untold elation takes center stage and sings

whilst heaven's angels dance our strings

Author's Note

“What is sour in the house a bracing walk in the woods makes sweet.” - Thoreau
