Mood Drama

.

This is not the usual dusk of early evening but a

twilight cast over the forest by dark overhead

skies although the clouds have been exhausted

and rain no longer falls. Yet despite the gloom 

of the atmosphere a typical light is cast throughout

the forest from a sky bending its protective roof

of daytime illumination so like that of a clear sky

enriching the landscape and nurturing the forest's

wildflowers, seen as the orange jewelweed orchids

lean over the creek in the forested ravine, a

richness of texture and colour relieving the early

gloaming. The rain-swollen creek rushes headlong

downstream, mesmerizing in its foaming billows

music to our ears, capturing our eyes and then an

apparition of wide blue feathers rises and coasts on

the wind as a Great Blue Heron crests the forest

canopy to settle on the crown of an unseen giant.
