sun on the lake by kierentc

Diamond Dance.

Atop the lake today splayed a dancing net
of flickering
sparkly bright gems,
the sun and breeze playing duet, I stood
entranced
as water teemed alive.

Light, having fun with liquid glass, created
diamond gleams.

Amid such jiving mass, with frenetic
performance
this dance was supreme,
in themed revue, with jewel-studded cast.

Stars let loose brilliant glitter
in the fastest fling.

With million winking movements
quick silver
flashed with gold,
and for a while the zinging air went wild
around this speed-display,
willed by cosmic joy.

Then breezes died, the sun
went into hiding, and the dance was done.

How gloriously alive this stunning poem is. The dancing is so alive and vibrant and the poem builds up to a fabulous joy you create. I am determined not to believe 'the dance was done' as I need to dream about it tonight.....

A shimmering delight of a write. I am especially drawn to; 'Light, having fun with liquid glass, created diamond gleams' - simply beautiful. :)
