diamond – Leaf And Twig

Snow Queen

adorned
with diamonds
born of snow

fleeting brilliance
these jewels
of water and sunlight

the forest grows
her own kind
of jewels

a shaft of light settles

on the blue diamond delphinium

saved from the pounding rain

diamond edged air
cuts like a knife
morning moon’s cold light

her winter crown
rendered from
diamond light

in snow diamond crowns
the court of Queen Anne presides
beauty is their decree

diamondized by dew
pink with sparkle
morning’s kiss
