spire – Leaf And Twig

The Wooded Kingdom’s Castle

constructed by decay
each spire a testament
to the sovereignty of being

keep reaching
for the light
illuminate what is right

in tribute to all that summer gives
in harmony with autumn’s colorful display
delphinium delivers a final spire

tall stalk
laden with delicate blooms
defying wind and rain

it is dreams
that stretch
our reach

Each blossom in the spire
is a devotion
to the day.

Nature’s church
is adorned
with flower spires.

The red spire rises.
Nature’s Olympic flame of summer
will burn bright for the duration.
