An ode
A chapter in the book Natural Light
Winter Sunset

Winter sunsets have always fascinated me; they look like stained glass windows, flooding the world with light through the framework of the trees, and somehow they seem to speak of the resurrection, the transformation of the world. I tried to keep a conversational, contemporary feel to the language here, really trying to dig into a feeling of 'talking to oneself' and letting all the emotions fly. The music is kind of stitched together out of alliterations and repetitions of patterns of sound in the language, and the images are what really make this poem come alive. It is very much in the transcendental romantic tradition of odes, deeply inspired by Coleridge's beautiful poem, Frost At Midnight. estory
