A Feather In the Forest

Leaving my son's house, a rain-burst had just passed. At the edge of the wood, contrasted against dark clouds, A single tree stood glowing. Wet in the sun’s rays, its leaves shimmering in the breeze. A feather in the forest glowing, Singly. Brightly shining yellow green, A cottonwood applauds the coming of the rains. Waving glimmering in rain rays, wet enlightening. Reminding me to dance in the sun.

Kevin.. Tonight, the mountain sky is clear. In a few hours the stars will tease me with their winks. The twilight is for your poem, and it's as enjoyable as the coming sunset!
