The sky sleeps
in the soft flow of night
The wind whispers under a cloak
of black and gold,
She glitters below the leaves,
of broad-leaved evergreens
Above the canopy, rain falls
Of turquoise hues
and silky moss
faerie orchids stalk
Her heart line like an exotic
capillary-flower
Etched, deeply profound
A kapok,
tendrils strangling its host,
leaving behind a haunted fig
A ghostly fog –
Sensually, night slips into dawn
Burnt orange
sunrise
She, the protector
of all that are gone
Singing a warrior song –
Dazzling Queen of the Amazon.
Words J.Calvert written 2016, revised 2017.
