(Transparent) Poem by Luke Davies

(Transparent)

Rating: 4.7


Sugar Lee you are the sun today,
Pervasive light and heat, and I
The valley floor, the birch pine slopes,
The snow-capped peaks, transparent sky

Through which you spread, and oh how
My toes are tingling miles away.
Then let us spread this picnic rug;
Come let's play mortals Sugar Lee.

Come stay a day, come lie an hour,
A lunar month, a solar year;
The world will organise itself the while
I whisper praises in your ear.

PERVASIVE: 'Manifested throughout; pervading, permeating, penetrating or affecting everything.' I DON'T KNOW if my understanding is perfect, but I give 3 stars. bri ;)

I like the conversational tone, the awareness of nature as a backdrop 'transparent sky', and the praise which he gives her. Their time together makes clock time irrelevant, 'Come stay a day.../ A lunar month, a solar year; '. An excellent choice as poem of the day.
