Gleaming Jewel of the Leaves - Dec. 08, 2010



Gleaming Jewel of the Leaves

I looked out from a heart that hoped and saw a precious jewel
Unafraid of my gleaming leaves or the way I speak
With a heart unselfish and never cruel
Shining as in a dream
A light to seek

The air sprouted new leaves as time and space stood still
Touching these gleaming leaves of my own
What a heavenly gesture I could feel
Radiating from this jewel
Unbeknown

Clearly, in my sight, my pulse quickened at the view
As these leaves kissed my gleaming green
Such treasure I found in a jewel
When I looked out in hope
Unforeseen

Never again will I see my world the same as before
Because I saw a precious jewel
With air my leaves adore
A heart unselfish
Never cruel

  9. I like the structure...gives it a gentle, trickling down feel that allows the poem to flow all the more delicately down through us. This one is a beautiful transformation, with powerful words - and especially, a most splendid ending note. Fantastic read.
