Frederick Kwesi Great Agboletey
The “Sundance” Radiance
Stately
trees stand
Straight and silent,
Quite and unmoving;
Serenity prevails-
Early birds flutter
Soundlessly
from bough to ground,
Sudden flurry of a rabbit,
A hedgehog makes its stand,
Defiant and unmoving-
Misty
grass,
Brilliant flashes
Of light dispersed
By water crystals,
Light, misty clouds
Of the early morning
dew
Swirl gently up-
Yellow autumnal sun
Embraces misty spirals,
Yellow rays of the early morning sun,
Streaks
of varied shades, in gold
Splayed in iridescent rays
Painting the woods
Against a background of golden
Splendor-
The
breath of the woods,
Natures pristine purity.
The “sundance” radiance shimmering;
Sparkles of golden
light flash
In spectacular beauty,
Leaping off the dark waters-
Timeless motion of water,
Gently swishing
its banks
Flowing in one continuous motion.
The soft murmur
of water gently lapping pebbly banks
The gift of
creator's mind beyond reach-
Down these forest paths
Time and again,
Apart from the turbulence
of mans contrived
restless world;
Within these gentle confines I retire to repose-
Confined am I
To the higher sensibilities
That
nature, subtly,
With so much grace evokes;
Natures gallery in all its splendor-
